Helmet top install

How hard is it to install a helmet top on a ragtop m1123. Does it just bolt right on or do you have to switch out windshield frames etc

will bolt right on.

I don't think you have to remove the channel for the soft top at the front of the frame, but it's been a few years so don't remember exactly.

There is a TB to explain this job, I believe.

You’ll need to remove the soft top channel from the windshield and the C pillar.

I just installed one. It's relatively easy. Just make sure everything is aligned before you drill any mounting holes.

(More manuals are available on their website).

Make sure the rear side and rear "lips" are tight against the rear of the body, you may have to put a ratchet strap across the back to pull the bottom of the helmet top together so it fits tight against the body before drilling the holes for the rear mounts.
