NSTALLATION

1. Install the front door frame first.
2. Ensure the windshield is in the “up” 

position. Carefully place the front door 

frame in the rubber seal at the top of the 

windshield, and line up the holes for the 

Torx head fasteners (two for each door).

3. Swing the frame bracket around the side of 

the door frame, and insert the fasteners 

from underneath. Tighten with the 

#T40 Torx head driver until they are snug, 

being careful not to cross-thread the 

fasteners or overtighten. Refer to the 

following table for the appropriate torque 

specifications for the door frame fasteners.

WARNING!

Do not drive your vehicle on public roads with 

the door and/or door frame(s) removed as 

you will lose the protection that they can 

provide. This procedure is furnished for use 

during off-road operation only.
