Sprint Top
Installation Instructions
For: Jeep Wrangler JK 2 Door
2007 – 2009
Part Number: 56844
Installation Tips
For a smooth fit:
For easier installation, the top should be installed at a temperature above 72º
F. Below this temperature, the fabric may contract an inch or more, making it
difficult to fit the vehicle.
It is normal for the fabric to contract and wrinkle when stored in the shipping
carton. Within a few days after installation, the fabric will relax and the wrinkles
will disappear.

Masking Tape
