If you are replacing an old soft top, be certain
that all parts of the old top are removed,
including the windshield retainer. Old metal parts are
not compatible with the new Supertop. Using parts
other than those provided in your Supertop kit can
result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle
and soft top.
Before installing the top, check the windshield
measurement. The distance from the top lip of the
windshield to the top outer edge of the body must
be 75 1/8" on both sides of the vehicle. Measure
from 6" inside the doors.
