Notice: Do not smoke inside the cab or expose the enclosure to direct
flames. Cab is Flammable.
Be sure to read these instructions thoroughly before opening and installing
the enclosure. The installation is best done when the temperature is 70
degrees F. or warmer. The temperature affects the adhesive Velcro, if
conditions prevent installing in warmer weather it helps to store the adhesive
Velcro at room temperature prior to installation.

The majority of the door is held in place by double-sided Velcro strips sewn perpendicular to the edges. You need to wrap the roll cage with one of the 6” adhesive Velcro strips first and then wrap the double-sided Velcro around the adhesive strip to provide a secure hold. Below are photos showing how these should look
-
While locating the positions for the adhesive Velcro the best place to start is the front corner. Place a 6” adhesive Velcro strip at the bottom of the front roll cage as shown on the next page.
-
Now install the 16” long 1” wide adhesive Velcro strip down the front of the fender as shown below.
-
After the Velcro is placed at the bottom of the roll cage and along the fender line attach the front of the door to place it where it needs to be. This helps to assure that all the remaining Velcro will be at the correct locations to hang the door right. The photo on the next page shows how the front of the door should look.
-
Now move on to wrapping the adhesive Velcro around the roll cage at where each double-sided strip is sewn to the edge as shown on the first page.
-
To finish off the door attach the 20” adhesive Velcro strip down the rear portion of the door as shown below. Then attach the door to the Velcro.
-
Once the door is in place install the rear window. The top of the windshield is held in place by two 8” Velcro tabs sewn along the edges on both sides of the brake light. Attach the adhesive Velcro strips on the top bar as shown in the photo below
-
Now take the rear window and attach the two 8” tabs to the adhesive Velcro centering the cutout across the top under the rear brake light. The photo below shows how it should look.
-
Next attach the four double-sided strips to the roll cage as you did with the door.
-
Also at this point before you lace the Rear Window to the door you should wrap a 6” strip of adhesive Velcro to the roll cage a little less than halfway up the rear bar. Then wrap the double-sided strip with the strap sewn to it around the adhesive strip with the webbing strap facing the top of the vehicle. This will be for holding the Soft Top in place later. The photo below shows how this should look.
-
Now take the two 70” cords and lace the Door Panel to the Rear window as you would a pair of shoes. Run the cord through the top holes from the inside out so that you have two equal length pieces coming out of each hole. Then lace the cording down the remaining holes to the bottom and tie them off cutting off any remaining cord. Be sure to melt the ends to prevent fraying. The photo below show how this should look.
-
Now time to install the roof panel. Included in your package are two sets of webbing straps. One set has grommet holes in one end and these are used for the front of the top. The other set has double-sided Velcro sewn to one end and is used for the rear of the top.
-
Start in the front and take the webbing straps with the grommet holes and attach it to the middle bolt of the windshield clamps. See photos below for reference:
-
Now take the strap and run it through the buckle sewn to the corner of the top. Do not pull tight until all straps have been attached. See Photos Below:
-
Once the front straps have been attached to the windshield move to the rear of the vehicle and attach the webbing straps with double-sided Velcro to the rear bar between the rear door and the rear window. First wrap the bar with the adhesive Velcro and then wrap with the double-sided as you did with the front and rear doors. Two extra straps have been provided for top only usage. See photos below:
-
Once all straps have been attached to the buckles pull them tight. You may need to loosen and tighten as you go to ensure that to top is centered. If waves appear across the top diagonally this is usually a good sign that one corner has been pulled tighter than another.
-
Lastly, after the top has been pulled tight install the top brace. Take a small knife and poke an x through the fabric where each hole is located. Now install as shown in the windshield instructions. See photo on next page:
Cleaning and Storage Recommendations:
- Before removing the Cab for storage, make sure it is very clean in order to prevent scratching of the window panels. Clean with a soft rag or sponge using a mild liquid detergent soap and warm water solution. Never rub the windows with a dry cloth or rag! Let the Cab dry thoroughly before attempting to roll for storage.
- It is important that the Cab be rolled up for storage rather than folding. Folding will cause damage to the windows!!! Carefully roll up the Cab similar to the way it was when it was packed at the factory. On a large, clean and flat surface, fold the doors over the rear panel first, then, interleave the top and windshield on top of the doors. Begin rolling the Cab into a roll approximately 8 inches in diameter. Put the rolled Cab back into the carton for storage at a normal room temperature. It is best not to expose the Cab to either extreme hot or cold temperatures when storing.
- A special cleaner conditioner is available from Falcon Ridge that will greatly increase the service life of the Cab Enclosure. In addition, if additional hook and loop sets are needed, they can also be ordered.
