  1. Windscreen

  2. Bevelled Notch in Carpeted Seatback Bumper

  3. Protective Cap on Carpeted Seatback Bumper

The vehicle may have a windscreen (A) installed to the rear of each seat to lessen wind noise while the convertible roof is retracted. The convertible roof can be opened or closed with the windscreen installed. The vehicle must have the correct seatback bumpers to install the windscreen. The correct seatback bumpers have a bevelled notch (B) above the seat's inboard protective cap (C). The notch allows the bumper to fit over the windscreen bracket which mounts to the inboard mounting studs.

Install the windscreen by following these steps:

  1. Before installing the windscreen, the convertible top must be fully retracted and the seats moved forward.
  2. Remove the windscreen from its protective bag.
  3. Locate the carpeted seatback bumper behind each seat.
  4. Remove protective caps from the bumpers.
  5. Loosen the four seatback bumper nuts from each seat. It is not necessary to remove the bumpers completely.
  6. With the seatback bumpers loosened, slide the windscreen mounting brackets behind the seatback bumpers. The angled portion of the mounting brackets should rest tightly into the bevels of the seatback bumpers.
  7. Tighten the bumper nuts and reinstall the protective molding caps.

When not using the windscreen, store it in its protective bag. To remove the windscreen, reverse the steps listed previously.
