Soft Top Header Latches

jeepster2003 · 08-10-2007, 12:03 PM

Hi Friends and Jeepsters:

I just got my second jeep, one with a soft top!

I took off the top and I have not been able to latch the header back on. I was wondering if you all had any tips to getting it latched.

Please let me know.

Make sure to leave the rear corners of the top unhooked. Fasten the latches up front first then go back to the rear and hook the corners in. Don't worry about pulling down on the corners there is a bit of flex in the tops framework. You should be good to go with a little practice.

sit it outside in the heat... this will help the fabric stretch. also, if you jeep has the sunrider feature, make sure that the front bow is cliped into the side rail.
