WARNING

Note:

Under most circumstances, the windshield of the Wrangler will not require any adjustment. If your Wrangler windshield should require

adjustment, this adjustment should be performed only by an authorized automotive mechanic using a special "Tamper-Proof" Torx head tool.

Improper windshield adjustment will result in poor fitting top and doors, causing looseness or

undue strain on the top.

Windshield Measurement

Before installing the top , check the windshield measurement. The distance
from the top lip of the windshield to the top outer edge of the body must be

75 1/8" on both sides of the vehicle. Measure 4"-6" inside the doors.

WARNING

Step One

Wrangler/YJ: Use a #20 Torx to remove the outboard sun visor
fasteners on both sides of the windshield frame. Remove the
two #40 Torx head bolts that secure the horizontal sport bar to
the windshield frame. Slide the Windshield Brackets between
the windshield and the horizontal sport bar mounts.

Reinstall the Torx head bolts, starting each in the frame with
your fingers. After the Torx head bolts are started by hand,
tighten with your rachet and Torx drive tool. Do not lay this
tool aside until both bolts are completely tightened. If you
tighten one of these bolts and the telephone rings - LET IT RING.
NEVER LAY THIS TOOL ASIDE OR INTERRUPT THIS PROCE-
DURE. This procedure should be followed carefully on both
sides of the vehicle.
