Installation Instructions
Step 6: Install the Rear Tailgate
Bar Brackets
If the vehicle has previously had a tailgate bar bracket
(Soft Top Vehicles):
Place the Tailgate Bar Bracket on
the outside of the tailgate opening lining up each hole
(from previous Tailgate brackets) with the existing holes
already drilled in the tailgate (FIGs 35 & 36).
Hand tighten all provided #8 x 1/2" Pan Head washer
screws into place holding the Tailgate bracket in place.
Repeat on other side of Tailgate opening. Using a Phillips
head screwdriver, tighten all four screws securing the tail-
gate bar bracket to the vehicle.
Do not use a drill or screw gun to tighten. Doing so may
over tighten the screws causing damage to your body
(FIGs 37, 38 & 39).
If the vehicle has not had a tailgate bar bracket on it
before:
Line up the driver’s side Tailgate Bar Bracket with
the inside of the tailgate opening as shown in FIG 36.
Use the retainers as a template to mark and drill two 1/8”
holes. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten each
screw until the Tailgate bar bracket is secure.
Do not use a drill or screw gun to tighten.
Doing so may over tighten the screws causing damage to
your body (FIGs 38 & 39).
Repeat on Passenger side.

Step 7A: Installing the Quarter and
Rear Windows to the Top Deck
To ensure the top is centered on the vehicle you will be
installing the two quarter windows and the rear window
to the top deck and to each other before securing it to
the vehicle body.
Pro-Install TIP:
To make this as easy as possible,
you may have to release the front windshield header
(release but not un-hook) and loosen the rear corner
straps installed in step 5. This will allow you to line up all
window zippers and attachments. The rear corner straps
and header will need to be re-tightened/clamped before
using the top.
Locate the drivers rear quarter window. Line up and slide
the rear quarter window into the “C” Channel as shown in
FIGs 40, 41, 42 & 43. Repeat this on the passenger side
of the vehicle.
