Door Installation
Warning: The doors in this product are designed only for protection against the
elements. Do not rely on the doors to contain occupants within the vehicle or to
protect against injury during an accident. Door handles are only designed to aid in
door closure. Door and handle
will not support a person's weight.
Assemble the Door Handles by:
a. Installing a flat washer over the square peg on the inside handle.
b. Installing the inside handle through the handle mount. The long ear points up and
th short ear points to the rear of the door.
c. Installing a flat washer over the square peg on the outside of the door fabric.
d. Installing the outside handle onto the square peg. Squeeze the inside handle and
outside handle together and tighten the set screws on the outside handle (see
Figure 15). (The outside handle should point to the rear of the door in the closed
position.)
Note: A small amount of glue on the ears of the inside handle will prevent loss of the
handle covers.
Lower Door Hinge Installation
Step One
Unzip the door window. Roll tightly to the inside of the door and secure with the elastic
strap. Hold the top of the door at a 90 degree angle to the body and start the top, front
flange of the door fabric into the bottom of the windshield door channel. Slide the door
fabric up into the door channel until the upper door pivot is just below the upper hinge on
the windshield. Work the upper door pivot into the upper hinge (see Figure 14). ( Note:
The top of the door will close below the Horizontal Rod. When the door is closed, the top
of the door and the bottom of the Horizontal Rod should touch.) Hold the door in the
closed position. Latching the door with the inside handle will assist in locating the proper
door position. Tension of the door may be adjusted by bending the inside handle. Visually
inspect the inside and outside of the door for proper fit.
