Thank you for purchasing Rampage Products Convertible Top for your Bronco. Please read and follow, precisely, all installation

instructions provided when installing top. Failure to do so may result in a poor fitting top and could place occupants in a potentially

hazardous situation.

INSTALLATION TIPS

Before you begin installing this top, here a few tips to make installation easier.

Windshield Adjustment. If your windshield frame is improperly adjusted, the top will not fit or function properly. Measure from the inside edge of windshield frame to the

inside edge of tailgate as shown in figure 1. For a proper fit this measurement should be 83 3/4” to 84”. If it measures slightly more than 84” the tension from the top may pull

it into position. If it measures less than 83 3/4” you will need to loosen the hand bolts on both sides of windshield frame and place shims under windshield frame and retighten

bolts.

This top should be installed where the temperature is above 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Below this temperature, the top may contract making it difficult to install.

It is normal for a top ton contract and wrinkle when stored in the shipping carton. The top will relax and wrinkles will disappear within a few days of installation as fabric

adjusts to shape of mounting hardware.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

On page 7 of this instruction manual there is an assembly drawing. Please refer to it for identification of parts and assembly assistance. Also refer to page 6 to assure that all

parts are included in your kit.
