Installation Steps
Important: For a smooth fit and ease of installation, this top should be installed at temperatures above 72 degrees. Below this temperature, the fabric may contract an inch or more making it difficult to install. We highly recommend taking your new Top out of the package and letting it sit inside a warm place or in direct sun light for 1-2 hours before you install the top. When warm, this top will install quickly.
