80 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew:
•It is recommended that the top be free of water
prior to panel removal. Removing the top, opening
a door or lowering a window while the top is wet
may allow water to drip into the vehicles interior.
•The hard top assembly must be positioned prop-
erly to ensure sealing. Improper installation can
cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
•Careless handling and storage of the removable
roof panels may damage the seals, causing water to
leak into the vehicles interior.
•The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicles interior.
Front Panel(s) Removal
NOTE:Left panel must be removed before removing
right panel.
1. Fold down the sun visor, and move it to the side.
2. Turn the center L-shaped locks (two) from the center
of the roof panel.

5. Open the swing gate all the way to ensure clearance of
the rear window glass. Lift the rear window glass.
6. Locate the wire harness on the left rear inside corner of
the vehicle.7. Disconnect the rear window washer hose and install
the tethered cap.

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
brush. Cleaning products are available through your
authorized dealer.
1. If your vehicle has half doors, remove each half-door
window by opening the door and lifting the half-door
window out.
NOTE: Stow the half-door windows carefully outside of
the vehicle, never inside, to avoid scratches.
2. Insert your finger behind the plastic retainer. Pull
down and roll the retainer out of the channel. Repeat this
on the opposite side. 3. Unclip and move the sun visors to the side.

•Unzip the rear window starting at the right lower
corner of the window. Pull the zipper up, across the
top and down to the left lower corner.Zipper pulls
will stay on the rear window. Pull down on the rear
window to disengage it from the zipper on the top
cover. Stow the windows carefully to avoid scratch-
ing. 7. Undo the Velcro
that runs along the top and rear
edge of the side window.
8. Beginning from the rear lower corner, completely
unzip the window.
9. Once unzipped, remove the side window retainers
from the door channel and body side channel. Repeat this
step on the opposite side.

11. To install the side windows, affix the window tem-
porarily by attaching to the Velcroin the rear corner.
Start the zipper but close only about 1 in (2.5 cm). 12. Insert the front retainer of the window into the door
channel, making sure the retainer is fully seated and
properly positioned on the door frame. Failure to do so
can result in wind and water leaks or damage to the
window.
