NOTE:
If there are wrinkles on the soft top cover, use a hair dryer to warm up the wrinkled area. Apply warm air from
the hair dryer keeping the distance by 150 - 200 mm (5.9 - 7.8 in) and move the dryer to gently warm up soft
top cover, for about 5 - 10 minutes until the wrinkle seems to be gone. Not to heat up soft top cover to much.

12. Roll the soft top cover bottom edge up, and disconnect defogger
harness connector from the rear window glass.
13. Pull out glass stays from sleeves on each side of the rear win-
dow glass.

16. Remove glass stays from 5th bow by removing screws from the
bottom of the 5th bow.
NOTE:

When removing glass stays, support 5th bow to avoid a bend
of glass stay. This bend may happen by the weight of the 5th
bow and the tensile force of the tether from the soft top cover.

Be careful not to damage the 5th bow nor to be hurt by the
falling 5th bow, because the 5th bow is heavy and moves
freely after removing glass stays.
17. Disconnect 5th bow drive unit harness connector.
