1. INSTALL ANTI-DRAFT PANEL
Note: this item is sold separately from the cab kit
and the door kits.
1.1 If a hard rear window will be installed, make sure
the sheetmetal filler underneath the expanded metal
screen is reversed so the small bent lip faces forward as
shown in Fig. 1.1 (this acts as a shelf for the hard rear
window to rest on). Remove and re-install three (3)
bolts holding this filler in place. Note: this filler can
also be reversed even for a soft rear curtain installation
(in case down the road a hard rear window is desired).
1.2 Remove the seat back and install the anti-draft
panel onto the back side of the seat back making sure
that the clear plastic window in the anti-draft panel is
oriented over the fuel gauge which is towards the lower
passenger’s side of the vehicle. Note: one edge of the
panel is notched to fit around the seat hinges. Re-install
the seat back through the original mounting holes and
secure with the original nuts.
1.3 Raise the lower seat 90 degrees as shown in Figure 1.3. Spread out the anti-draft panel as would appear
to be appropriate. Panel may pass under seat and velcro
to front of tube beneath front edge of seat. Pull back
one area or section at a time in order to assess where to
apply the hook (rough) velcro on the vehicle. Per Fig.
1.1, install four (4) pieces of hook (rough) velcro as
high up as possible underneath the forward facing
sheetmetal lip to the left and right sides of the bolt
heads. NOTE: adhesive backed velcro should be applied to a clean, dry surface at room temperature.
1.4 Install the anti-draft panel to the newly applied
hook velcro on the vehicle. Lower seat back down.
2.
INSTALL FRONT MOUNTS
2.1 Loosen the front cab bar bolts and slide the front
mount in place between the cab bar and the plastic
hood as shown in Fig. 2.1. Repeat for passenger’s side.
Leave the bolts loose so that the front mounts can be
adjusted when the side frames are installed in step 5.
