Installing The Hard Top
NOTE:
If the door frames are installed from soft top usage, they
must
be removed prior to installation of the hard top. Refer
to “Door Frame” in this section for removal procedures.
1. Inspect the hard top seals for damage and replace if
nec
essary.
2. Install the hard top using the same steps for removal in
rev
erse order.
NOTE:
When reinstalling the interior soft trim panel:
• Be sure the panel is centered so that there is an even gap on
bot
h sides.
• Apply pressure over the hook-and-loop fasteners to
ens
ure they are properly secured.
3. Make sure that the hard top is sitting flush with the body
at
the sides and across the back.
NOTE:
The Torx head fasteners that attach the hard top to the body
shou
ld be torqued to 155 in-lb +/- 22 in-lb (17.5 N·m +/-
2.5 N
·m) using the provided #T50 Torx head driver and
ratc
het.
• The hard top is not designed to carry any additional
load
s, such as after-market roof racks, spare tires,
building materials, hunting or camping supplies, etc.
For optional Mopar accessory roof racks, refer to “Roof
Luggage Rack” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle.”
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either
ful
ly attached to the windshield frame and bodyside, or
fully removed.
• The removal of the hard top requires four adults
loca
ted on each corner. Failure to follow this caution
could damage the hard top.
