Jeep Wrangler: WRANGLER TOPS / Installing The Hard Top
If the door frames are installed from soft top
usage, they must be removed prior to
installation of the hard top. For removal
procedures.
To install the hard top, place the hard top on the
vehicle while making sure that the top is sitting
flush with the body at the sides and check to
ensure that there is a uniform gap between the
lift glass and hard top. Then follow the removal
steps in reverse order.
NOTE:
- Inspect the hard top seals for damage and
replace if necessary.
- The Torx fasteners that attach the hard top to
the body should be torqued as follows using
the provided #50 Torx head driver and
ratchet:
- Hard top to B-pillar: 119 in-lb +/- 23 in-lb
(13.5 N·m +/- 2.7 N·m)
- Hard top to J-rail: 154 in-lb +/- 30 in-lb
(17.5 N·m +/- 3.5 N·m)
Remove both front panels.
Open both front doors.
Using the provided #50 Torx head driver
and ratchet, remove the two Torx head
screws that secure the hard top at the
B-pillar (near the top of the front doors)...
CAUTION!
Lowering of the windshield is NOT recommended
in vehicles equipped with a Power
Sliding Top. Damage will occur to the top as
well as the header seal...
Other information:
If the selected seating position has a
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
seat belt, stow the seat belt, following the
instructions below. Check
what type of seat belt each seating position has.
Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps
and on the tether strap of the child seat so
that you can more easily attach the hooks
or connectors to the vehicle anchorages...
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the
trailer size, stoplights and turn signals on the
