Rear Hard Top Installation
NOTE:

replace if necessary.

removal in reverse order.
Make sure that the hard top is sitting flush with
the body at the sides and check to ensure that
there is a uniform gap between the lift glass and
hard top.

The Torx fasteners that attach the hard
top to the body should be torqued to 66

DOOR FRAME
WARNING!
Do not drive your vehicle on pavement with
the door frame(s) removed as you will lose
the protection that they can provide. This
procedure is furnished for use during off-
road operation only.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior water damage, stains or mildew:
•
Opening a door or lowering a window while
the top is wet may allow water to drip into
the vehicle’s interior.
•
Careless handling and storage of the re-
movable door frame(s) may damage the
seals, causing water to leak into the vehi-
cle’s interior.
