3. Repeat Step 2 for the opposite side.
4. Attach the Straight Bar to the Curved Bars using the two Sheet Metal Screws provided.

6. Once the Bow Assembly is complete, slide it through the Nylon Loops located on each rear corner of the Roll Bar Top.
7. Attach the Bow Assembly to the Plastic Bracket (attached to the roll bar in Steps 2 and 3) using the two Large Bolts provided. Make sure the Snap on the Straight Bar is facing the outside of the Jeep.
8. Pull the Roll Bar Top towards the front of the Jeep and lay it over the windshield channel.
9. Fold the plastic strip under and insert it into the windshield channel. Center the Roll Bar Top in the channel by pulling from either side as necessary.
10. Loosely wrap the Velcro straps around the roll bar.
11. Pull the Roll Bar Top towards the rear of the Jeep and over the Bow Assembly.
12. Insert the two Long straps through the J-Hooks and thread them through the Buckle, pulling them tight.
13. Once the J-Hooks are attached to the rear harness, place the J-Hooks under the rear lip of the Jeep and tighten.
14. Once the Rear Harness is tightened, fasten the Snap located on the center of the Bow Assembly.
