How to Install a Bestop All Weather Trail Cover w/ Stuff Sack on your 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

This cover is to be installed on the vehicle without a complete top in place. The bows should be folded down if installation is on a soft top Wrangler.

This cover may be installed over a Duster and Bikini.

The straps are designed for fit the "stock" model, and may not latch to various steps and rocker guards added to the vehicle.

Before you begin installing this assembly, read all instructions thoroughly.

Note:
It is normal for the fabric to contract and wrinkle when stored in the shipping carton. Within a few days after the installation, the fabric will relax and the wrinkles will disappear.

WARNING:
This product is designed primarily to protect the interior of the vehicle from ordinary weather conditions. Please note that during prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow, some seam leakage may occur. Please plan accordingly. This product will not protect the vehicle from falling objects. Never operate vehicle with this product installed. The Trail Cover is not made to cover the vehicle while vehicle is in tow.

- Make certain that the vehicle engine and all lights are turned off.
- Set the Emergency (Parking) Brake.
- Remove all personal possessions from the vehicle.

Orient the Trail Cover with the Bestop label on the driver's side. Drape the Trail Cover over the vehicle.

There are two plastic strips sewn to each side of the Trail Cover. Slip them into the belt rail retainer on the side of the vehicle.

NOTE: If you have a Duster installed on your vehicle, use only the elastic straps and to hold the Trail Cover in place.

Locate the three elastic loops sewn to the rear of the Trail Cover (one small loop on each side of the vehicle and one large loop in the center). Hook the two outside loops around the taillights and hook the center loop around the tire carrier.

The grommet on each side of the vehicle is to secure the cover to the vehicle. Thread a cable and lock through the grommet and through the mirror to secure the cover.
