 Hey everybody this is Brett with Summit Automotive and today I'm going to be showing you how to put your Sunrider top on your Jeep Wrangler. We got our very first high tide in and these come standard with the Sunrider top so I'm going to go over all the steps that it takes to put that Sunrider top on, all the tools that you need and everything and step by step how to do it. We also did a demo on how to take your hard top off of your Jeep Wrangler Jail. If you want to check that out it's linked in the description below and it's also going to be at the end of this video in a link as well so click those, check those out and let's get started. Alright so I'm going to go over everything that you need to put your Sunrider top onto your Wrangler and before you get started you're going to want to make sure you have everything that you need not get halfway into it and be like oh I can't do it. So first off you're going to want to grab your tool kit that came with your Wrangler. You're going to need the wrench and of course the T40 bit and then so you got to have that ready. Your Sunrider top should have came with a bag and in that bag is a little strap right here that's for the end and then six bolts that come with the vehicle. There's also instructions that come with it. If you didn't get these instructions maybe I'll do close-ups of these at the end of the video so you can pause it and maybe make a picture off the internet or something. Anyways those are all your instructions and then you get this block here. This is an important piece that should have came with your stuff and like I said if you don't have any of this stuff maybe you can go online and find it and maybe I'll link some things in the description below to stuff where you can find it. But anyways you're going to want your case for your front hard top pieces because you're going to keep those nice and safe since they are color matched on this one. You're going to want to have a ladder as well and you're going to want... So the first thing you're going to want to do is obviously take your front hard top pieces off. There's a bunch of quick disconnects in here. It doesn't really matter which order you undo these but there's these three quick ones and then there's three quick ones on the other side as well as that latch and there and we'll get that one in just a second and then we can take the top pieces off. Now that you have all the latches undone underneath you're going to want to take these hard top pieces off. This is where you want to grab your ladder just because you don't want to... Not that they're too heavy but they're just kind of a weird shape and bulky and you don't want to chip the paint because they are color matched. So you want to start on the driver's side. Just lift up, grab both sides and lift like so. You're going to want to have your bag set up somewhere that you can put them in right away. I got it set up just off camera. Now I can grab the second one without the ladder and we can go on to the next step. So now that you have your front hard top pieces off and in their bag you're going to want to get your Sunrider top and put it on here. The instructions recommend that you get two people to do it. I'm pretty confident that I can do it myself. It's not that heavy and the trickiest part is going to be getting out of that box which we'll do right now. So the first time that you get your Sunrider top out of the box it's going to come with this kind of styrofoam stuff, packaging. Just take that, you don't need it. But the trick is to use this box and it's got foam inside of it that you can reuse. And I'll show you here if we can get this box to slide out of here nicely. So you can see it comes on this sliding piece of cardboard. It would be helpful if I had two people to get this out. Anyways, you can see that it's on its own little case here. You can take this part of the box and just kind of get rid of that. But you can reuse this part of the box again because it's got foam pieces that this sits on and kind of protects it. So next step, putting this on top of the wrangler and then we just have to bolt it down. I'll show you how to do that. All right, we'll get the Sunrider top on it right now. Make sure you... And trust me, this works way better with two people than one person. So you may want to grab a friend. The trick is to make sure that we get this edge over the lip. So if you don't get it over the lip right away, it's really, really tricky. So now that that is in place, you can do your clamp stone and we'll get those going in just a second. So I'm going to bring the camera around and show you exactly what's going on underneath here. So this is how the Sunrider top should look once you get it on your wrangler properly. It should be nice and snug. Everything should be flush and these pieces should be able to close easily. And then you want to make sure that this piece is snugged up to that hard top piece so that you don't get any leaks and then you know it's in the right place. So the next thing you're going to want to do is grab your bolts. So they give you these two bolts for this piece. So the one with the little rubber end on it goes right here. And the reason they do that is so that you don't wreck your paint when you're putting it on. Now in the instructions Jeep recommends to get a torque wrench and to torque these bolts up to 8.8 foot-pounds of torque. I don't have a torque wrench for this application since we're just doing this for demonstration but if you want to be very thorough and follow the instructions perfectly, get a torque wrench and tighten these to 8.8. For our application we're just going to use the one that Jeep gave us and I'm just going to snug them up. This one was pretty snugged up. And now we'll do the other side and then I'll show you exactly how it works. Pretty easy to do. The hardest part is actually just getting it up here and making sure everything is nice and square and on there perfectly. That was the biggest problem I had doing this. It's actually pretty easy once you get it. Once again, 8.8 foot-pounds of torque. We're just going to snug them down like so. Now the last piece you're going to have to do is the piece that goes on there so we'll grab that and put that on. Alright, so this is the final step to getting your Sunrider top on. You're going to want to grab your piece right here that Jeep gave you and this is the final step so I did this with the stationary camera so that you can see what I have to do here. So this piece is going to basically clamp down and hold this into place. So you're going to want to use two hands to pull this down. These bottom pieces go under these two pieces and this top piece is going to go on top of there so it kind of clamps it. But you're going to want to have two hands to do this because it will slide right into place once you got it down enough. And then you're going to want to take your two bolts that came with your kit and just put those in there. Now the instructions say to use 3.7 foot-pounds of torque to tighten these up. Once again, I don't have my torque wrench so I'm just going to use the one that they gave me with the kit. We're just going to tighten those down fairly tight. Just snug them up. They probably don't want you putting too much torque on these because this is plastic and they probably don't want it breaking. So nice and snug is good enough. And for now, I'll show you how this top actually works. So the last thing that you can do to secure your sunrider top is to put this down like so. And then this will actually just clamp down and then it's nice and secured. But to get this up, all you've got to do is do that. And it's spring-loaded so you just have to kind of pull it down a little tighter and it'll automatically open like that. And then you can grab this piece right here and it just goes up like so. So you get the open air feel without having to deal with the front hard top pieces which is pretty nice. And then they give you these little straps. There's two of them, one for each side. But basically they go underneath this bar right here and then around. And you got to make them nice and tight. I'm sorry, make it nice and tight so that they don't go anywhere. And they're Velcro so that's basically so this doesn't open back up. So that's the whole thing and I hope you enjoyed it. So as promised, here are the instructions for the Sunrider top installation. Feel free to pause this. There is everything that you need. There's the first step of taking those pieces off. You're supposed to clean it, they say. And then putting that top piece on your bolts with the torque specs. And there's that last piece. There are your straps. So you're supposed to wrap it around there twice. And that's it. Well, that's everything. I hope you enjoyed the video today. And if you have any questions just write them in the comments below. I check YouTube every day so I can answer them there.
