Installation of Bimini Top:
Step 4: Thread the Four Front Center Straps
As you did in step 2, stand on the threshold of your
Jeep, locate the four center straps and thread the
straps between the windshield and the front roll bar
sliding it slightly from left to right until it works its way
through the gap.
Note: before you thread the straps, run your fingers
over the ends of the straps so they curl downward.
This will make it easier to thread.
The four straps will come through in front of your
windshield as circled in Fig 13.
Thread the Straps through the Front Trim: Once
the front straps are threaded through the windshield,
you will need to also thread them behind and through
the front trim piece as shown in Figs 14 & 15. Once
threaded through, you now have all four straps co-
ming through from behind the trim: two straps on
each side of the sun visors.
Step 5: Attach the Front Center Straps
Locate the two center front straps.
On the front of the windshield there are two Freedom
panel locator brackets, one on each side of the
rear- view mirror (FIG 16).
Loop the two buckled end loops of the center front
straps around this locator bracket (FIG 16) and
thread the two center straps through the buckles
securing the center straps to the locator brackets (Fig
17).
Tighten all front straps buckled in steps 2 through 5
pulling the top tight across and forward. It is VERY
important that these straps are extremely tight before
you attach any of the rear straps.
Notice in FIG 18 and 18A how the front rubber seal
should fit under the windshield and how tight the front
portion should be.
