Step 5 Continued: Installing the Top Deck to the Jeep®
Once the front header is secured, go to the rear corner of the Top deck and locate the rear corner straps.
Thread the straps down and under the seat belt mount as shown in (Fig’s 29 & 30) and thread the strap
through the buckle (Fig 31). Repeat this on the other side of the vehicle and while pulling towards the rear
of the vehicle, tighten one strap and then the other side strap tightening up the top deck. Do not tighten
completely (Fig 32).
IMPORTANT: The top deck MUST be centered on the rear of the vehicle for the windows to fit properly.
When tightening the rear straps notice the location of the rear bar sewn into the pocket on the top deck. It
needs to be centered on the rear roll bar legs. Once the rear straps are secure (but not tightened all the
way), go inside the Jeep and make sure the center bow flap is wrapped around and secured to the center
bow (Fig’s 33 & 34). Also, double check to make sure the safety strap shown in (Fig 22) (Step 3) is looped
around the center bow.
Step 6: Installing the Rear Tailgate Bar Brackets
Locate the Tailgate bar and Tailgate bar brackets as shown in (Fig 34).
If the vehicle has previously had a tailgate bar bracket (Soft Top Vehicles): Place the Tailgate Bar Bracket
on the outside of the tailgate opening lining up each hole (from previous Tailgate brackets) with the
existing holes already drilled in the tailgate (Fig’s 35 & 36). Hand tighten all provided #8 x 1/2" Pan Head
washer screws into place holding the Tailgate bracket in place. Repeat on other side of Tailgate opening.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten all four screws securing the tail-gate bar bracket to the vehicle.
Do not use a drill or screw gun to tighten. Doing so may over tighten the screws causing damage to your
vehicle (Fig’s 37, 38 & 39).
If the vehicle has not had a tailgate bar bracket on it before: Line up the driver’s side Tailgate Bar Bracket
with the inside of the tailgate opening as shown in (Fig 36). Use the retainers as a template to mark and
drill two 1/8” holes. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten each screw until the Tailgate bar bracket is
secure. Do not use a drill or screw gun to tighten.
Doing so may over tighten the screws causing damage to your vehicle (Fig’s 38 & 39). Repeat on
Passenger side.
