Installing the Roof Panel 1. Check to be sure that the front handles and rear latch on the ceiling are in their opened positions before attempting to install the roof panel. 2. If the roof panel is stored in the rear area, grasp it with your right hand at the middle edge near the seatbacks, and with your left hand at the middle of the edge closest to you. Reverse the steps described previously under "Storing the Roof Panel." 3. Remove the roof panel from the storage compartment. 4. In most cases, it is easier to install the removable roof with two people rather than one. Place the roof panel over the vehicle. CAUTION: An improperly attached roof panel may fall into or fly off the vehicle. You or others could be injured. After installing the roof panel, always check that it is firmly attached by pushing up on the underside of the panel. Check now and then to be sure the roof panel is firmly in place. NOTICE: To avoid damage to the roof panel, paint and weatherstripping, do not drop or rest it on its edges. 2-68
