Got the Window Molle Panel delivered today
First want to say it is very sturdy and a good build.
But......
Opened the box and no instructions!!
Watched the video online but it was for a four door.
2 door installation is totally different.
So had to figure it out on my own.
Once I unpacked it, there is a bracket that is the main support, and 3 small L brackets and one large L bracket.
It took a little to figure out where everthing went.
As you can see the main bracket actually goes between the roll bar and the glass. You need patence to get it screwed in. Don't tighten totally, you will need to move it around. The three small L brackets use the top bolts to install (I found that if you keep these brackets all the way towards the cargo area and perpendicular to the top, you can tighten down the bolts). The last is the larger L bracket. That really took a few minutes to find out where that went. It hangs off the top of the roll bar hanging between the roll bar and the window.
I hung the Molle panel to see where everything lined up. I found that the main bracket hanging down just so the top of the Molle panel is at the bottom of the roll bar it all works out. Once you have the brackets where you want them now you have to tighten down the main bracket.
This is the space you have to work with to tighten the bracket!!!
Once the three L brackets and the main bracket are tight you can mount the Molle Panel. It is down with Allen head bolts and nuts. This is where patience will be your friend! You need to push the bolt through the panel in to the hole of the bracket and then get your fingers behind it to hold the nut to tighten it up!!!!
The last thing to tighten will be the large L bracket on the top of the roll bar.
Thats it!!!!!
Like I said, it is a good product, once installed it is VERY STURDY!!!!
But the install, expecially with out instructions was a pain in the ASS!!!!!
So overall a very good product but I see one minor and one major CON
The installation is the minor CON, very tight spaces, need to take your time and it will go together very nicely!!!
The MAJOR CON is going to be when you want to remove the top. It is deffinetly going to take more time to remove the top. The back bolts you will have to reach up the side between the roll bar and the top to get to the bolts. The front bolt they left a double swuare opening so you can slide a rachet in to get to it. Not impossible but will take more time.
