Step One
Remove the old top, including the horizontal and vertical rods and the bows.
Windshield Adjustment
This is the first step you must take in the installation process and it is also the most important one. Improper windshield adjustment
results in poor fitting of both the top and the doors, as well as misalignment of snaps.

Step One
Measure and record the distance from the top lip of the windshield to the top outer edge of the vehicle body, but not the tailgate (see
Figure 1). Take the measurement from approximately six inches inside the vehicle’s doors. Check to make sure that both sides meas-
ure equally. To install this top properly, this measurement must be 75 1/8".

If necessary, adjust your windshield by loosening the two screws in the Windshield Clamps located at the base of the windshield on
each side of the vehicle. You may then lean the windshield forward or back as necessary. Use a shim to fix the windshield in place if it
remains loose after you tighten the screws.
