• The soft top is not designed to carry any additional loads such as roof racks,
spare tires, building, hunting, or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also,
it was not designed as a structural member of the vehicle and, thus, cannot
properly carry any additional loads other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
WARNING!• Do not drive the vehicle with the rear window curtain up unless the side
curtains are also open. Dangerous exhaust gases which can kill could enter the
vehicle.
• The fabric upper doors and fabric top are designed only for protection against
the elements. Do not rely on them to contain occupants within the vehicle or to
