Step 5. Lower the soft top and bow assembly. With the top collapsed on the rear of
the vehicle, remove the screws that fasten the soft top fabric to the bottom
of the header. Set the screws aside as they will be used to attach the new
top.
Step 6. Remove the old top from the frame. Drape the new soft top over the back
of the vehicle. Locate the front edge of the top with the plastic strip sewn
on. Wrap the front edge around the header with the plastic strip facing
upward. Attach the front edge of the top to the bottom side of the header
using the screws removed earlier.
Step 7. With the assistance of a second person, raise the top and bow assembly in
the up position. Lock the header to the windshield. With the top laying
loosely over the bow assemblies, re-attach the fabric to the bows using the
screws removed earlier. The fabric on the rear bow wraps under from the
back side of the bow toward the front of the vehicle.
