Jeep Wrangler: WRANGLER TOPS / Installing The Hard Top
If the door frames are installed from soft top
usage, they must be removed prior to
installation of the hard top. For removal
procedures.
To install the hard top, place the hard top on the
vehicle while making sure that the top is sitting
flush with the body at the sides and check to
ensure that there is a uniform gap between the
lift glass and hard top. Then follow the removal
steps in reverse order.
NOTE:
- Inspect the hard top seals for damage and
replace if necessary.
- The Torx fasteners that attach the hard top to
the body should be torqued as follows using
the provided #50 Torx head driver and
ratchet:
- Hard top to B-pillar: 119 in-lb +/- 23 in-lb
(13.5 N·m +/- 2.7 N·m)
- Hard top to J-rail: 154 in-lb +/- 30 in-lb
(17.5 N·m +/- 3.5 N·m)
Remove both front panels.
Open both front doors.
Using the provided #50 Torx head driver
and ratchet, remove the two Torx head
screws that secure the hard top at the
B-pillar (near the top of the front doors)...
CAUTION!
Lowering of the windshield is NOT recommended
in vehicles equipped with a Power
Sliding Top. Damage will occur to the top as
well as the header seal...
Other information:
Push and release the Remote Start button on
the key fob twice within five seconds. The
vehicle doors and swing gate will lock, the turn
signals will flash twice, and the horn will chirp
twice. Pushing the Remote Start button again
will shut the engine off...
To provide additional storage area, each rear
seat can be folded flat to allow for extended
cargo space.
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright
and positioned forward. This will allow the
rear seat to fold down easily.
The center head restraints must be in the
lowest position to avoid contact with the
center console when folding the seat...
