Installation Tips

Before you begin installing this Bikini top, read all
instructions thoroughly. Below are a few tips to
make this installation easier.

For a smooth t:

For ease in installation, the top should be
installed at temperatures above 72 ° F. Below
this temperature, the top may contract an inch
or more, making it dicult to t to the vehicle.

It is normal for a top to contract and wrinkle
when stored in the shipping carton. Within a
few days after the installation, the top will relax
and the wrinkles will disappear.

Step One

Orient the Bikini with the plastic ridge to the front and the straps toward the
back. Drape the Bikini over the sport bar and insert the plastic strip sewn
along the front of the top into the windshield header. Do not catch the fabric
in the retainer. Center the front of the deck on the vehicle so that it is an
equal distance from the top of the windshield ange on both sides.
