The forward and aft manual sunshades mount to the hard top
using a series of buckles and tension poles. To install the poles
into the deck:
Troubleshooting
Note that the powered sunshade is very voltage sensitive. If
the batteries are running at a low voltage, the sunshade may
malfunction. Always ensure that the batteries are nearly fully
charged when extending or retracting the sunshade.
If you suspect that the sunshade has overextended, do not
attempt to retract the shade and contact your local Aviara dealer
for servicing. Always retract the sunshade when raining as this
will cause undue stress on the extension arms.
To install the manual aft sunshade:
1. Remove the sunshade and poles from the storage bags
2. Un-fold and lay out the sunshade with the buckles facing the
hard top. Ensure that the material is facing the correct side up.
3. Insert the tension poles into the gunnel mounting points.
Ensure that they are properly seated in the mount.
4. Attach the other end of the sunshade to the hard top using
the buckles in the canvas and on the hard top.
To install the forward sunshade:
1. Remove the sunshade and poles from the storage bags
2. Un-fold and lay out the sunshade with the buckles facing the
hard top. Ensure that the material is facing the correct side up.
3. Insert the tension poles into the gunnel mounting points.
Ensure that they are properly seated in the mount.
4. Clip the canvas into the mounting points on the hard top.
5. Move to the forward end of the shade. Stretch the canvas
forward so that the metal rings can be mounted on the
tension poles.
6. Mount the metal rings around the tension poles. Put a small
amount of tension into the poles so mounting the metal ring
is easier.
7. When mounted, release pressure on the tension poles slowly.
