Installing the soft-top<br />
WARNING: Never attempt to install the<br />
soft-top while the vehicle is moving.<br />
This could cause an accident in which you or<br />
others may be seriously injured or killed.<br />
Open both doors. Remove the soft-top and<br />
support stays from the bag.<br />
Note: The support stays and the side rails of<br />
the soft-top assembly have arrows on them<br />
which should point to the front of the vehicle<br />
when installing.<br />
1. Fit the two support stays between the<br />
header rails. The support stays need to be<br />
flexed to enable them to fit into the slots<br />
in the header rails.<br />
2. Inspect the channels in the header rails<br />
and remove any debris (such as leaves)<br />
that may have accumulated.<br />
3. Position the soft-top across the space<br />
between the two support stays. Ensure<br />
that the arrows molded on the side rails<br />
are pointing to the front of the vehicle.<br />
4. Standing at the drivers side, unroll the<br />
soft-top. Starting at the drivers side<br />
minimizes potential damage to the roof<br />
seals.<br />
5. Position the side rail so that the black<br />
locating pins are located in the<br />
uppermost slots on the front and rear<br />
header rails.<br />
6. Ensure that the front and rear edges of the<br />
soft-top are correctly located in the<br />
channels on the header rails.<br />
7. Rotate the side rail downwards until the<br />
side rail locking pins are correctly located<br />
in the lower slots and you can hear them<br />
‘click’ into place.<br />
8. Check that both locking pins are correctly<br />
engaged by attempting to rotate the side<br />
rail upwards.<br />
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the<br />
passenger side of the soft-top. You may<br />
need to pull on the side rail to engage the<br />
locating pins on the header rails.<br />
10. Inspect the fitted soft-top to ensure that<br />
the front and rear edges are correctly<br />
located in the channels on the header rails.<br />
Incorrect fitment can result in damaged<br />
seals and water leakage.<br />
WARNING: Before driving, check that<br />
both side rails are securely fitted. An<br />
incorrectly fitted or unsecured soft-top could<br />
result in an accident which could lead to<br />
serious injury or even death.<br />
Note: Unless you specified otherwise when<br />
your vehicle was delivered, Tesla Motors has<br />
set your windows to accommodate the<br />
hard-top. To prevent water from entering the<br />
cabin when using your soft-top, you will need<br />
to have Tesla Motors adjust your windows.<br />
