NOTE: Failure to fold the fabric rearward will allow the
material to sag and may block the rearview mirror.FOLDING WINDSHIELD
The fold-down windshield and removable side bars on
your vehicle are structural elements that can provide
some protection in some accidents. The windshield also
provides some protection against weather, road debris
and intrusion of small branches and other objects.
Do not drive your vehicle on-road with the windshield
down and the side bars removed as you lose the protec-
tion these structural elements can provide.
If required for certain off-road uses, the side bars can be
removed and the windshield folded down. However, the
protection afforded by these features is then lost. If you
remove the side bars and fold down the windshield,
drive slowly and cautiously. It is recommended that the
speed of the vehicle be limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), with
low range operation preferred if you are driving off-road
with the windshield folded down.

rear seat.
NOTE:It may be necessary to use a battery terminal
puller tool in order to separate the wiper arms from the
shaft after the nuts have been removed.
8. Remove the lower windshield plates by removing the
six black round-headed Torx head screws (using a #40
Torx head driver) on each side of the base of the
windshield. 9. Lower the windshield gently until it contacts the
rubber hood bumpers.
10. Secure the windshield by passing a cinch strap
through the footman hoop on the center of the hood and
