Freedom Top™ Three-Piece Modular Hard Top — If Equipped
CAUTION!
• The hard 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.).
• Do not move your vehicle until the top has been either fully attached to the windshield frame and bodyside, or fully removed.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water damage, stains or mildew:
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior to panel removal. Removing the top, opening a door or lowering a window while the top is wet may allow water to drip into the vehicles interior.
• The hard top assembly must be positioned properly to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
• Careless handling and storage of the removable roof panels may damage the seals, causing water to leak into the vehicles interior.
• The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak into the vehicles interior.
