•Do not drive vehicle with rear window curtain up
unless side curtains are also open. Dangerous
exhaust gases which can kill could enter the
vehicle.
•The fabric upper doors and fabric top are de-
signed only for protection against the elements.

the vehicle or to protect against injury during an
accident. Remember, always wear seat belts.
Folding Down The Soft Top
NOTE:Clean side and rear windows before removal to
assist in preventing scratching during removal of the soft
top. If zippers are difficult to operate due to road dust,
etc., clean them with a mild soap solution and a small

untrap them from the door frame. Do not tuck the drip
rails into the door frame at this time.
