Installation Tips
After completing the installation, keep these instructions
for future reference. Before you begin installing this SunCap, read all instructions thoroughly. Below are a few
tips to make this installation easier.
For a smooth fit:
For ease in installation, this Sun Cap top should be
installed at temperatures above 72º F. Below this
temperature, the fabric may contract an inch or more,
making it difficult to fit to the vehicle.
It is normal for the fabric to contract and wrinkle when
stored in the shipping carton. Within a few days after
the installation, the fabric will relax and the wrinkles will
disappear.
Step One
Orient the Sun Cap with the plastic ridge to the front and the straps
toward the back. Start on one side of the vehicle and slide the plastic
ridge of the Sun Cap into the Windshield Channels, working it into
position all the way across the front of the vehicle. Make sure that
the fabric is centered in the retainers, as well as the Plastic Retainer
centered relative to the ends of the Windshield Channel.
