GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 51
(Continued)
If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) and/or the top
has been folded down for a period of time, the top will
appear to have shrunk when you raise it, making it difficult
to put up. This is caused by a natural contraction of the
vinyl or acrylic materials of the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the top
fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size and the
top can then be installed.
If the temperature is 41°F (5°C)
or below, do not attempt to put the top down or roll the
rear or side curtains.
CAUTION!
The soft top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunting
or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also, it was
not designed as a structural member of the vehicle
and, thus, cannot properly carry any additional loads
other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
CAUTION!
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build up may
result.
Do not lower the top when the temperature is below
41°F (5°C). Damage to the top may result.
Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or fully
lowered.
Refer to “Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models” in
“Bodywork” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for
further information. It contains important informa-
tion on cleaning and caring for your vehicle's fabric
top.
Do not use any tools (screwdrivers, etc.) to pry or
force any of the clamps, clips, or retainers securing
the soft top. Do not force or pry the soft top frame-
work when opening or closing. Damage to the top
may result.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains, or mildew on the top material:
It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or
lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle's interior.
Careless handling and storage of the soft top may
damage the seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle's interior.
The soft top must be positioned properly to ensure
sealing. Improper installation can cause water to
leak into the vehicle's interior.
CAUTION!
