Re: taking down top

Doesn't matter, this is what I do. I roll the windows down all the way first then undo the front latches while I roll the windows down, then I pop the rear, lift it then pop the tonneau cover up and put the top down, close the tonneau cover and cruise.

Re: taking down top

That's correct. Just make sure that when you fold the top away, that you put the front latch handles in the closed postions (folded flat), otherwise if the handles are sticking up, the can press against the closed tonneau cover. That's not good.

PS; I love the way ASC designed out verts compared to others . . .
- the top takes up no trunk space
- when the top is up, the rear shelf can be used for additional storage
- the hard tonneau cover is way superior to a soft cover. Easier and quicker to use than fastening a soft cover. And looks better in my opinion.
- the fact that the back roof can be raised independantly from the front allows easy access to the back to retrieve items when the top is up. Occasionally I've had my little girls in car seats in the back (very occasionally, LOL). People are amazed when I open the back of the top and just lift them out. Easier than a regular car!
