Regardless of what
type of hardware you
currently have on your
vehicle, it is extremely important that you only use
the hardware found in this Convertible Top kit. This
Convertible Top cannot be used with your existing
hardware.
This is the fi rst step you must take in the installation
process and it is also the most important one. Im-
proper windshield adjustment results in poor fi tting
of both the top and the doors, as well as misalign-
ment of snaps.
Measure and record the distance from the top
inside edge of the windshield to the top outer edge
of the vehicle body. Take the measurement from
approximately six inches inside the vehicle’s doors.
Check to make sure that both sides measure
equally. To install this top properly, this measure-
ment must be 81".
Adjust your windshield by loosening the Windshield
Clamps and adjusting the brackets. You may then
lean the windshield forward or back as necessary.
Use a shim to fi x the windshield in place if it remains
loose after you tighten the screws.

Measure 15 1/2 inches along the top edge of the
vehicle from the door jam. Mark the locations with
a pencil on each side of the vehicle. This will be

Mounting Brackets.
