The Bestop Bikini Top is designed to attach to your Jeep® windshield and to be supported by the factory sport bar.
Step One
Unfold the top and lay it upside down on the hood. Insert the front edge of the top into the retainer channel on the windshield. Then flip it
over the windshield and drape it over the roll bar. Pull the top down at the rear with the two straps. Wrap the straps around the "Y" in the
sport bar and buckle.
Note: This Bikini Top is designed to fit Bestop's curved
windshield channel (curved at the corners). If your
vehicle has a straight channel or no channel, you will
need to purchase Part Number 51209-01 from your
local distributor.
Step Two
Buckle the long strap in the center to the footman loop
on the windshield. Pull snug.
Step Three
The Bikini Top can be removed easily, or you can
leave it attached at the windshield and roll the top up
to fasten it to the windshield with the factory straps
when you lay the windshield down on the hood. You
can then put the windshield and the top back up in
seconds in case of rain.
