Fabric Replacement Top – Installation Instructions
Rev. D 0606 51127 / 51180 pg. 4
In order to install the top fabric, make sure that the
Center and Rear Bows are in the folded down posi-
tion on the rear of the vehicle.
Lay the top fabric, backing side up in the rear of the
vehicle with the plastic strip facing up and aligned
with the front edge of the header. Locate the round
hole that marks the center of the plastic strip (all
other holes are slotted). Install a screw in the round
hole to secure the fabric to the header as well as to
center the top. Then proceed to install screws in the
remaining seven or thirteen holes along the front of
the header.
Flip the fabric over so that it wraps around the
header and drape the top fabric over the tailgate.
Raise the header slightly and work the pockets in
the fabric over the corners of the header. Install an
oval head screw in each corner to secure the fabric
to the header.
