Locate the center bow webbing and the spring
assembly that is attached to the top deck. Figs 48
& 49.
Attach the
spring end to the webbing as shown in figs 50 and
51.
Using pliers, crimp the spring end so it does not
come loose.
Step 9: Installing the Top Deck to the Jeep®
With the header resting on the windshield, close
the front header latches to secure the front of the
top to the wind- shield. See FIGs 52, 53 & 54.
With the fabric installed on the header and draped
over the back of the vehicle, go to the rear corner
of the Top deck and locate the rear corner straps.
Thread the straps down and under the seat belt
mount as shown in FIGs 55 & 56 and thread the
strap through the buckle (Figs 57 & 58). Repeat
this on the other side of the vehicle and while
pulling towards the rear of the vehicle, slightly
tighten one strap and then the other side strap
tightening up the top deck. When first tightening
the rear straps notice the location of the rear bar
sewn into the pocket on the top deck. It needs to
be centered on the rear roll bar legs.
NOTE: Do not completely tighten these straps yet.
They should be holding the top but not pulled as
tight as possible. You will do final “tightening” after
you install the windows.
