CAUTION!
Do not overtighten the screws. You can strip the screws
if they are overtightened.
CAUTION!
The hard top is not designed to carry any additional
loads, such as after-market roof racks, spare tires,
building materials, hunting or camping supplies, etc.
For optional Mopar accessory roof racks, refer to the
Roof Luggage Rack portion of this Owner’s Manual
for additional information.
Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the front header, sport bar,
and body side or fully removed.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew:
It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to panel removal. Removing the top, opening a door
or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
The hard top assembly must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
Careless handling and storage of the removable roof
panels may damage the seals, causing water to leak
into the vehicle’s interior.
The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
