1.
Mark the holes to be drilled in the factory hardtop using the
supplied
Hole Templates
. There is a front and rear
template. LH and RH are mirror image of each other and will
use the same template. Trim the template and tape it to the
outside of the Hardtop.
ENSURE THAT THE TEMPLATES
ARE ALINED WITH THE HARDTOP AS DESCRIBED.
THE REAR TEMPLATE MUST BE ALIGNED WITH THE
BOTTOM EDGE OF THE HARDTOP, AND THE REAR
‘SEAM’ OF THE HARDTOP. THE FRONT TEMPLATE
MUST BE ALIGNED WITH THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE
HARDTOP AND THE DOORJAM EDGE OF THE
HARDTOP. THE WINDOW PROFILES ARE USED AS A
REFERENCE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO
POSITION THE TEMPLATE OVER THE PROCEDURE
OUTLINED ABOVE.
Once the
Hole Templates
are
properly positioned, use a 1/16” bit to drill a pilot hole through
the template and through the Hardtop. Transfer the Hole
Templates to the other side and repeat. Once all pilot holes
are drilled, remove the templates and drill the holes out with
a 3/8” bit.
2. Remove the 4 corner factory hard top mounting bolts,
leaving the center 2 in place. Loosely attach the
Driver and
Passenger side, Front and Rear mounting Brackets
using
the previously removed bolts. The brackets can easily be
identified by the cut-out in the lower pad, ie DF, DR, PF, PR.
The brackets may not exactly line up with the previously
drilled holes. The brackets are flexible and can be moved to
line up with the holes. This is normal.
Refer to Figure 1.
3. Install the
Driver Side Assembly
by first pre-assembling
with the supplied
5/16”x1” Button Head Screws
. Be sure
to place a
5/16” Washer
under the head of the screws. Next
slide the supplied
Upper and Lower Gaskets
over the
threads of the screws. The Gasket will help hold the screws
in place while installing the assembly.
Refer to Figure 2.
