1. Check to be sure that the front handles and rear latch
on the ceiling are in their opened positions before
attempting to install the roof panel.
2. If the roof panel is stored in the rear area, grasp it
with your right hand at the middle edge near the
seatbacks, and with your left hand at the middle of
the edge closest to you. Reverse the steps described
previously under “Storing the Roof Panel.”
3. Remove the roof panel from the
storage compartment.
4. In most cases, it is easier to install the removable
roof with two people rather than one. Place the roof
panel over the vehicle.
5. Position the rear edge of the roof panel to the
weatherstrip on the back of the roof opening (A). Then
align the pins at the rear of the roof panel weatherstrip
with the receiving cup in the body weatherstrip (B).
Gently lower the front edge of the roof panel to the
front of the body opening (C).
6. Rotate the front handles toward the side doors to the
closed position.
7. Hook the rear latch by pushing the lever up to the
locked position.
8. Grasp and tug the roof panel up and down and
side - to - side to make sure the roof panel is
securely installed.
