Installation
All vehicles
1. WARNING: Always use new torque-prevailing type J-nuts when installing the safety canopy in the vehicle. Use of these J-nuts is
mandatory to reduce the risk of loss of fastener effectiveness. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the safety canopy module
deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
Remove all J-nut fasteners and install new.
2. WARNING:
-
Before installing a safety canopy or side air curtain module, inspect the roofline for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be
reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. Install new fasteners if damaged and remove foreign material. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in the safety canopy or side air curtain deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
-
Inspect a safety canopy or side air curtain module before installation. If the module is damaged, the cover has separated or the safety
canopy/side air curtain material has been exposed, install a new module. Do not attempt to repair the module. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in the safety canopy or side air curtain deploying incorrectly, which increases the risk of serious personal
injury or death in a crash.
-
Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of a safety canopy module, side air curtain module or interior trim panel.
This will prevent the safety canopy or side air curtain module from deploying correctly. Failure to follow this instruction may increase
the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
Position safety canopy module into the vehicle.
3. Install the safety canopy module hook into the sheet metal.
