Step 9: For JK 2-Door Vehicles
Securing the Cable Spring
Locate the Cable spring hanging out of
the top behind the rear seat next to the
rear vertical door surrounds. Fold back
the front header to reduce the side cable
tension. On some models the rear
bracket where the cable spring is to be
attached is exposed or under a fabric
sleeve. With the front header tension
released, attach the spring to the
bracket and using a set of pliers,
crimp the spring end closed so it cannot
be easily slipped off (see call out on Figs
26 & 27 ). For some later JK models the
bracket is encased in a plastic “tube”.
As shown in Figs 24-27, slip the cable
spring through the “tube” and attach
it to the top bracket and using a set of
pliers, crimp the spring end closed so it
cannot be easily slipped off.

Soft Top Installation:
We have enclosed new fabric covers to cover the attached spring
mechanism. These can be used on 2 door JK vehicles to cover the
spring or on later model year vehicles if the plastic"tube" is damaged
during original soft top removal.
