  • The hardtop is not designed to carry additional loads such as aftermarket roof racks, spare tires, construction materials, hunting or camping equipment, etc. For optional Mopar® roof racks, refer to the accessory catalog.
  • Do not drive the vehicle until the top has been either fully attached to the front header, sport bar and body side, or fully removed.

Failure to observe these warnings may result in internal water damage, stains, or mildew:

  • It is recommended that the top be free of water before removing the panel. When removing the top, opening the door, or lowering the window while the top is wet, water may drip into the vehicle interior.
  • The hardtop assembly must be installed correctly to ensure a proper seal. Improper installation may allow water to enter the vehicle interior.
  • Careless handling and storage of removable roof panels may damage the seals, allowing water to enter the vehicle interior.
  • The front panel(s) must be correctly positioned to ensure a proper seal. Improper installation may allow water to enter the vehicle interior.
