NOTE: Read entire instructions thoroughly before installing this product. It is recommended to install this Top when temperatures are above 70 degrees. If the Top has any wrinkles this is caused from packaging but once the top relaxes they will go away. You must have the factory bow assembly in order to install this product.


Step 1: In order to install this top you must have the complete factory bow assembly and hardware on your vehicle. If there is a top on your vehicle remove it at this time leaving all hardware on vehicle.

Step 2: With the rear spreader bar pulled down (Fig A) carefully lay your new top over the bow assembly. Slide the front plastic channel on the top into the windshield header on top of your windshield frame. (Fig B)


Step 3: Attach the snaps on the top to the center and rear bow assembly. (Fig C)


Step 4: Install the rear corners onto the vehicle by sliding the channel on the top into the factory channel on the vehicle. (Fig D)

Step 5: If windows are detached, attach them now to the top with the zippers. Starting at the top of either back side of the door, insert the channel on the side of the window into the vertical rail on the bow assembly. (Fig E)


Step 6: Insert the channel on the bottom of the windows into the factory rail along the side of the vehicle (Fig F)


Step 7: Fasten the snaps along the top rail above each door. The snaps on the rail slide in order to get proper alignment with the snaps in the top. (Fig G)

Step 8: Slide the factory tail gate bar along the channel sewn into the bottom of the rear window. (Fig H) Attach bar into the factory brackets located on each side of the tailgate. Insert bottom corners of rear window in channel.

Step 9: The top is now completely installed, push up the spreader bars that you lowered in Step 2. Installation is now complete. Proceed to Step 10 for upper door skin installation.

Step 10: Remove upper door skins from factory frame if needed. (Cutting may be involved) Lay down door skin on clean flat surface. Unfasten Velcro around window and on bottom.

Step 11: Insert the frame into the upper rear corner and then proceed to the upper front corner. (Fig I, J)


Step 12: Insert the front lower corner into the door skin. (This is designed to be tight, unzipping the window may help ease installation.)Now proceed to the lower rear corner.

Step 13: Once frame is in door skin fold long flap over top bar of door frame then proceed to pull bottom flaps up and secure to upper flap with the Velcro. (Fig K, L)


Step 14: Insert door frame back into door. Attach channel on bottom of door skin into the factory door rail. If equipped connect front corner snap. Installation is now complete.
