4. Carefully place header and top onto vehicle, ensuring assembly does not scratch or damage windshield. The top and header should rest just behind leading edge of rubber windshield seal. 

5. From inside vehicle, rotate retainer arms over windshield clamp bracket. Tab should rest behind clamp bracket on windshield frame. Foam pads on retainer arms will rest on windshield frame. 

WARNING: Tab located on Retainer Arm should hook through windshield frame footman loop to prevent Header Bar from dislocation during operation.

6. Tighten retainer arms by turning threaded lock knobs clockwise. Alternate between the left and right knobs to ensure tight fit.

Do not overtighten.

Top and header should be tight to windshield rubber seal.

7. Finish installing top per manufacturer’s instructions
