Re-installing the soft top

[CSRedDragon]

I’m new to soft tops and just received my rig. The removal of the side and back panels and the lowering of the top was a cake-walk. However, when I reassembled the top, I wasn’t sure if I did it correctly. In particular, I don’t know how the sides of the roof above the doors are supposed to connect/seat. The weather stripping just seems to hang over the metal frame. Appreciate your suggestions.

Curious if there was a shot in the manual about it. Probably just sits on the rails and pressure from the latches creates the seal. Your manual would know the best.

Thanks. I did watch this one before. Mainly trying to understand how the weather stripping along the sides work.

Maybe @Ourbroncolife can help. They spent quite a while touring the broncos along the west coast dealer road show and i believe did the demos of door and top operation.

The weather stripping doesn’t need to be adjusted or anything. It might not look seated fully at times but it’s working. When having the top open and windows up you still have that window seal so it’s secure there. Kind of hard to explain but never had a leak issue.

Makes sense. That’s what I was looking for on feedback. Thanks!
