Unzip and roll up back window and secure it with snap straps, open doors and unzip and remove side windows, pull the tabs on top out of the grooves above door surrounds, unlatch the top (2 latches) above window frame, go to the back corners of top and remove the rear corners from the grooves on the body and flip them ontop of the roof out of the way, pull the top back trying to fold it so it stows neatly.
The only real differences between the TJ and YJ top are the window frame latches and above the doors.
ray,
Thanx for reply, i was just looking at how the roof connects to the area above the doors, what are the knobs above the doors that go thru the roll bars for? currently they are loose? should they be tight? once again its freezing here ive no intention of taking roof down or loosening it. Im just curious as to how it comes off...Tony
