light. Move to the front of the vehicle. Grasp the side
bow behind the header and lift the top, folding it

hooking the rear edge of the bracket on the interior side
of the body channel. Then, rotate it rearward and over

the rear roof bow (3–bow) will aid to reach the channel
with the retainers.

SOFT TOP — FOUR-DOOR MODELS
Please visit http://www.jeep.com/en/wrangler-rooftop-
instructions/ for instructional videos.
WARNING!
• Do not drive the vehicle with the rear window
curtain up unless the side curtains are also removed.
Dangerous exhaust gases could enter the vehicle
causing harm to the driver and passengers.
• The fabric upper doors and fabric top are designed
only for protection against the elements. Do not rely
on them to contain occupants within the vehicle or to
protect against injury during an accident. Remember,
always wear seat belts.
• Make sure hands and fingers are clear of all pinch
points when installing and removing the soft tops.
The zippers and side bows may cause serious injury
if fingers or hands get caught in between.

CAUTION!
The soft top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunting,
or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also, it was
not designed as a structural member of the vehicle and,
thus, cannot properly carry any additional loads other
than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) and/or the top has
been folded down for a period of time, the top will appear
to have shrunk when you raise it, making it difficult to put
up. This is caused by a natural contraction of the vinyl
coating on the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the top
fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size and the
top can then be snapped into place. If the temperature is
41°F (5°C) or below, do not attempt to put the top down or
roll the rear or side curtains.
CAUTION!
• Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash.
Window scratches and wax build up may result.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
• Do not lower the top when the temperature is below
41°F (5°C). Damage to the top may result.
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or fully
lowered.
• Do not lower the top with the windows installed.
Window and top damage may occur.
• Refer to “Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models” in
“Bodywork” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for fur-
ther information. It contains important information on
cleaning and caring for your vehicle’s fabric top.
• Do not use any tools (screwdrivers, etc.) to pry or
force any of the clamps, clips, or retainers securing
the soft top. Do not force or pry the soft top frame-
work when opening or closing. Damage to the top
may result.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew on the top material:
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or
lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.
