Before Install
1. With the Windshield Header removed from the Jeep®, slide it into the sewn pocket on one end of the MasterTop Bimini Top Plus. With one end in the pocket, snap it onto the windshield header. Working your way from the left to right or right to left. All eight snaps should be secured to the windshield header as shown.
2. Move the sun visors down and to the side before placing the windshield header with the MasterTop Bimini Top Plus on your Jeep®.
3. Now place the MasterTop Bimini Top Plus with the gray side facing down and secure the windshield header to the footman loops on the driver and passenger side.
4. With the windshield header secured, fold the MasterTop Bimini Top Plus forward to expose the center buckles.
5. Thread the short tension straps with hooks through the buckles on both sides of the MasterTop Bimini Top Plus.
6. Once both tension straps with hooks are secured to the buckles, unfold the MasterTop Bimini Top Plus towards the rear passenger seats. Let the tension straps hang down.
7. Secure each tension strap hook to the hole of the sports bar as shown below. With the hook in place, tighten the strap. Don’t overtighten as you may break the plastic hook.
8. Secure the large hook and loop straps around the horizontal sports bar on the driver and passenger sides.
9. Place the exterior side tension straps around the driver side doorframe and thread the one end into the buckle. Repeat steps on both sides. Important Note: Do Not thread tension strap under the seat belt. It should be above it as shown below.
