Reinstalling the Soft Top on a 2000 RT/10

[Fangs10]

Had the car for about two months and love it.

I decided to take the top off and after putting it in the trunk and then a couple days later putting it back on I found that all three support bars are different in length, arc, shape.

So where do I start? Do I install the top and as I unfold the sides do I insert the support bars as I complete the unfolding and then screwing the sides into the A-Pillar? I need to confirm the order of the bars I guess front to back and one bar I recall has like two flat spots on each side.

Thanks

I would think the longest of the three would go in the middle. When I use my soft top I always leave the support bars in. The procedure I follow is...Set top on wind shield header and sport bar. Remove top from bag. Unfold top. Secure the side bars to the to the front of the top. pick top up and place on my head for support. Kneel into the drivers seat and guide top onto the car. Secure the A-pillar latches. Secure top to the sport bar Finally, fold the rubber strip the stretches the top out into the side rail.
