CAUTION!
- The hard top is not designed to carry any
additional loads, such as after-market roof
racks, spare tires, building materials,
hunting or camping supplies, etc. For
optional Mopar® accessory roof racks.
- Do not move your vehicle until the top has
been either fully attached to the front
header, sport bar, and body side or fully
removed.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior water damage, stains or mildew:
- It is recommended that the top be free of
water prior to panel removal. Removing the
top, opening a door or lowering a window
while the top is wet may allow water to drip
into the vehicle’s interior.
- The hard top assembly must be positioned
properly to ensure sealing. Improper installation
can cause water to leak into the
vehicle’s interior.
- Careless handling and storage of the
removable roof panels may damage the
seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle’s interior.
- The front panel(s) must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation
can cause water to leak into the vehicle’s
interior.
If currently installed, remove the hard top.
