How to Install Smittybilt Tonneau Cover - For OEM Soft Top W/ Channel Mount - Denim Spice

​Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing the Smittybilt Tonneau Cover for 1997-Current Jeep Wrangler. Before you get started, please read the important information listed below:

1. For this Tonneau Cover to fit correctly you must have Soft Top equipment, factory
installed hardware on your vehicle.

2. All Smittybilt Soft tops are pre-fit at the factory. Please note that in order to provide long term fit, Smittybilt designs each top to fit very tight on the initial installation. Please
make sure it is at least 70 degrees F. when you first install this top or it will be very
difficult to install. If you use a hair dryer to warm the fabric, the install will be easier.

3. The Tonneau Cover may seem wrinkled when first installed, this is caused by the fabric becoming wrinkled during shipping. The fabric and the wrinkles will relax after a few days installed on the vehicle.

Warning: this top is designed to protect you from the elements only and is not designed
to keep you inside the vehicle in the event of an accident. Always fasten your seat belt.
