Installation Tips
Before you begin installing this Replay Top assembly, read
all instructions thoroughly. Below are a few tips to make
this installation easier. After completing the installation,
keep these instructions for further reference.
For a smooth fit:
For ease in installation, the Replay Top should be installed
at temperatures above 72° 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.

Care and Maintenance of your New Top
Your top is made of the finest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the
maximum possible wear, it will need periodic cleaning and maintenance.
Washing: The fabric should be washed often using soap, warm water and a soft bristle
brush. Rinse with clear water to remove all traces of soap.
Zippers: Keeping the zipper cleaned and
lubricated with a silicone
Normal Slider Jaws Parallel
lubricant will help prevent
damage and keep the zippers
in a smooth working condition.
If a zipper opens behind the slider, the slider
Damaged Slider Jaws Spread Apart
(sometimes broken)
may have been spread apart. This problem
can usually be repaired by using an ordinary
pair of pliers to bring the sides back into
parallel. Return slider to the end of the zipper
in the normal Open position. Squeeze lightly
at first and test the zipper. If the zipper
continues to remain open squeeze more
firmly with the pliers and try the zipper again. Repeat this procedure until the zipper
operates correctly.
Water: In the event of seeping through the seams, 3M Scotchgard® may be applied on the
inside of the seams to stop the seepage. Rips in the fabric may be repaired with Bondex®
iron on patches. Iron the patches to the Inside of the top, carefully following the Bondex®
instructions.
Snaps: Keep snaps cleaned and lubricated with silicone to help prevent snaps from sticking
to the studs. If a snap does become stuck to a stud, use a screwdriver and GENTLY pry
apart to prevent permanent damage to the snap or the top fabric.
Windows: Keep windows clean to avoid scratching. DO NOT use a brush on the windows!
Wash with a water soaked cloth or sponge and a mild dish washing detergent. NEVER WIPE
THE WINDOWS WHEN THEY ARE DRY. Be careful when cleaning snow or frost from the
vinyl windows since they are easily scratched and may crack at low temperatures. DO NOT
roll the sides or rear window in cold weather. The windows become stiff and will crack.
