EASY CJ-2A TOP INSTALL


Now that the rear and front vertical bows are
joined with their center cross-bow pieces,
start with inserting the rear support rods
into the proper holes, and then move on to
the front support rods that are secured with
a cotter pin up front through the hole in the
windshield frame.


With the top now centered at the front and
then firmly pulled down on the back, the rear is
secured with the six sewn-in nylon strap slide
jaw buckles that connect to the footman loops as
shown. And if you’re missing any of the footman
loops, KWAS has those available as well.

Once the entire bow framework is completely
installed and all the parts feel tight, you can
then have someone help you start to slowly
drape the canvas top over the Jeep as you
install one side of the front attachment flap
into the square channel opening on the front/
top part of the windshield frame; then continue
to slide it to the other side as the entire top is
being carried over at the same pace.

Each side of the rear of the canvas top is
wrapped around and attached to the bow
with these high-quality twist fasteners
already expertly installed into the top. Simply
position them through the opening and then
twist it either way.

After only a short drive, it was apparent that
the KWAS Summer Top was exactly what we
were looking for, with both stunning looks
and craftsmanship. The canvas didn’t flap or
create hardly any noise in the wind at speed,
and the cover gave all the passengers a bit of
shelter from the elements.
