Removal
1. Remove four hex nuts (10) and the hex bolts (8)
securing the rear of the top (3) to the struts (5 and 6).
2. Remove two hex nuts (10) and hex bolts (13) with
spacers (12) securing the top (3) at the front to the
strut (4).
3. Lift the top (3) off of the struts and set it aside.
4. Remove the access cover (1) by sliding a flat screw-
driver under the edge of it and prying it away from
the instrument panel, repeat for the other side.
5. Remove the two hex bolts (11) from each side that
secure the front strut to the vehicle, lift the strut (4)
up until it clears the instrument panel and cowl.
6. Remove the rubber grommets (14 and 15) from the
front strut holes if they did not come off with the
struts.
7. Remove two hex bolts (9) from one rear strut (5 or 6)
then, repeat for the other side.
Installation
1. Place the rubber grommets (14 and 15) into the
holes in the front cowl making sure that they are ori-
ented properly for each side. The grommet should
follow the contour of the body.
2. Position the front strut (4) with the bend angled to the
rear of the vehicle, slide the strut through the grom-
mets and into position. Looking through the access
holes align the holes in the strut with the holes in the
frame and insert the hex bolts (11). Do not tighten
hardware.
3. Position the rear struts (5 and 6) so that they are
bent to the outside of the vehicle and the top legs
point to the rear of the vehicle. Align the mounting
holes in each strut with the matching holes in the
seat back support, install the hex bolts (9) finger tight
only.
4. Place the top onto the struts and install two hex bolts
(13) and spacers (12) at the front through the struts,
place the nuts (10) only finger tight.
5. Install four hex bolts (8) and hex nuts (10) through
the rear struts (5 and 6) only finger tight.
6. Make sure that the grommets (14 and 15) on the
front strut (4) are in place.
7. Tighten the hex bolts (9, 11) and hex nuts (10) to the
torque values specified below.
8. Replace the access covers (1) in the instrument
panel.
DO NOT over tighten fasteners. Exceeding the spec-
ified torque value will crush the strut tubes.
