Lowering The Windshield And Removing Side Bars

1. Lower the fabric top or remove the hard top following the instructions in this manual.

3. Remove the sun visor.

4. Remove the A-pillar cap.

5. Disconnect microphone (if equipped with Uconnect™ phone).

6. Open the sport bar Velcro covering.

8. Remove the side bar assembly, and reattach the sport bar Velcro covering.

9. To safely store the side bars in your vehicle, use four cinch straps (available from your authorized dealer).

Attach the straps through the slots located on the floor behind the folded rear seat at the front of the storage bin cover.

See your authorized dealer for the cinch straps.

10. Remove the windshield wiper arms by first pulling the wiper away from the windshield and out to the “lock” position. Unsnap the wiper arm nut caps, and remove the retaining nuts. Lift the wiper arms off and store them in the center console or securely behind the rear seat.

12. Lower the windshield gently until it contacts the rubber hood bumpers.

13. Secure the windshield by passing a cinch strap through the footman hoop on the center of the hood and on the center of the windshield frame. Tighten the strap to secure the windshield in place.
