Install the Soft-Top into the Vehicle

1. Make sure the electrical connectors (both sides) are secured in place as shown so they will not get caught under the assembly.

2. Put the soft-top in the vehicle in reverse of step 21 in soft-top assemble removal.

3. Connect the soft-top electrical connectors.





4. Loosely install the bolts on the "front" mounting brackets (see Figure 19).

5. Make sure the soft-top mounting bracket is flush against the aligning pegs (see Figure 19).





6. Loosely install the "mounting plate" bolts.





7. Move the soft-top to the position shown in Figure 21 using the power switch.

^ The soft-top should be straight up (90°).

NOTE:
If the top is too far back, it will slowly move toward the storage area by its own weight.





8. Make sure the soft-top bracket is completely seated on the "rear" mounting bracket stud.

9. Install and tighten the nuts on the rear mounting brackets.





10. Tighten the soft-top to front mounting bracket bolts (see Figure 23). Make sure front brackets are flush against the aligning pegs.





11. Install the "mounting plate" shims.

^ It may be necessary to push (shift) the soft-top from side-to-side to make room for the shims.

^ Make sure the shims do not fall out during installation, hold them in place until the bolts are tightened.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Make sure you install all shims in the same side they were removed from.





12. Tighten the "mounting plate" bolts.

NOTE:
It's important that all soft-top mounting bolts are tightened in the order given in steps 7 - 12.

13. Reinstall all remaining parts in reverse order.

NOTE:
Make sure to use new seat bar finishers-clam shells (see Parts Information).
