Step 5. Lower the soft top and bow assembly. With the top collapsed on the rear of
the vehicle, remove the screws that fasten the soft top fabric to the bottom
corners of the header. Set the screws aside as they will be used to attach
the new top.
Step 6. With the assistance of a second person, raise the top and bow assembly in
the up position. Lock the header to the windshield. Carefully drape the top
over the windshield onto the hood. With the top portion of the header
exposed remove all of the screws from the top side of the header. Remove
the top portion of the header. Remove the old top from the header.
Step 7. Place the new top and onto the header with the bottom side of the
top facing upward. With the top draped over the hood and windshield,
locate the center notch on the top and the header. Once the two marks have
been aligned, use tape to hold the top in position. Replace the top
portion of the header over the soft top. Using the screws removed earlier,
re-attach the top portion of the header.
Step 8. With the assistance of a second person, drape the new soft over the back
of the vehicle and lower the frame assembly. Wrap the fabric around the
corners of the header assembly. Make sure to tuck the fabric between the
lip of the header as indicated in the image. Fasten the plastic tab to the
header using the screws removed earlier.
Step 9. With the assistance of a second person, raise the top and bow assembly in
the up position. Lock the header to the windshield. With the top laying
loosely over the bow assemblies, re-attach the fabric to the bows using the
screws removed earlier. The fabric on the rear bow wraps under from the
back side of the bow toward the front of the vehicle. The fabric on the
middle bow wraps over the top and the front side of the bow.
