REMOVABLE TOP (IF EQUIPPED)
For more information see the CD Rom included with this guide.
Installing the removable top
The front screw fittings must be checked to see that they are
firmly seated after driving a distance of approximately 50 to 60
km (30 to 40 miles).
The removable top does not have the same crush resistance as
an integrated steel roof in case of collision or rollover.
The removable top is not, under any circumstances, to be used
to carry or support external loads.
Movement of the removable top requires at least two people.
The removable top weighs approximately 38 kg (84 lb). Also,
due to its shape, the weight is biased to the rear of the removable top.
Your vehicle must be turned OFF and placed in PARK on a level
surface prior to installing or removing the top.
Before installing the removable top, unsnap and properly store the
convertible top tonneau cover. Refer to Installation of the tonneau
cover in the Convertible section. Also, thoroughly dry the convertible
top and then lower. Open the doors, lower the windows, and clean the
area where the removable top mounts on the body.
1. Remove the protective cover from the top. Using a mild detergent,
clean the weather-strips on the top before installing it on the vehicle.
2. Ensure that the removable top levers are rotated rearward to the fully
open position. Lock the wheels on the storage cart, loosen the
restraining straps on the cart, and with the help of at least another
person remove the top from the cart.
