7.
Position the hardtop onto the sup-
ports with the help of a second
person. Be sure to put the mount-
ings exactly into the proper brack-
ets
Lift the hardtop carefully. Be
extremely careful not to shift the
seals. Seals that have been shifted out
of place or actually pulled out cause
leaks.<

In the back, close the red locking
levers by turning to the inside as far
as the stop located behind the trim
will allow. Flip the cover panels
back into place
To lock the hardtop in the front,
keep pressing on the front locking
levers until you hear them engage
Check the rubber weather-strip-
ping between the windshield frame
and the hardtop on both the left
and right sides. If it is folded or
bent out of place, you should
smooth it back into position by
hand to ensure secure and reliable
sealing.

Before installing, first flip the cover
panels that are located underneath
the left and right interior lamps

slight bump on the cover panel.
There is a holder in the cover panel
to securely store the trim pieces
that have been removed – see
