INSTALLATION TIPS

Before you begin installing this top, here are a few tips to
make installation easier.

This top should be installed where the temperature

is above 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Below this temperature,
the top may contract making it difficult to install.

It is normal for a top to contract and wrinkle when

stored in the shipping carton. The top will relax and
wrinkles will disappear within a few days of installation as
fabric adjusts to shape of mounting hardware.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

On page 3 of this instruction manual there is an assembly
drawing. Please refer to it for identification of parts and
assembly assistance. Also refer to page 5 to assure that all
parts are included in your kit.
