How to Use the California PopTop

PopTop Installation

The California PopTop™ is ergonomically designed, so it’s easily installed or removed in less than a minute. Since you’ve probably never used a product like this before, it’s advantageous to review the videos or the step-by-step procedure to enhance your experience.

: Starting on the driver's side, undo the storage-bag strap and push the PopTop out of the storage bag, from the bottom, onto the windshield. Then, unroll it across the windshield.

: Locate the black starter strap and slip it over the driver-side mirror.

: Locate the PopTop mirror pocket for the driver's side (the thick white elastic strap goes under the mirror) and position it over the driver-side mirror. (Do not slip the mirror through the opening.)

: On the passenger side of the vehicle, locate the other PopTop mirror pocket and position it over the passenger-side mirror.

: Locate the hook attached to the black nylon cord.

: Grab the hook and walk to the rear of the vehicle, pulling the PopTop over the roof.

: Position each nylon cord in the gap between the trunk and fender.

: (Optional) To utilize the Anti-Theft feature, tie a large knot at the end of the nylon cords and slip it into the trunk.

: Pull the nylon cords tightly to position the PopTop on the vehicle and slip the hook under the trunk lid or license-plate frame, then position the cord lock against the hook to lock the PopTop in place.

: On the windshield, slip the PopTop's flap under the windshield wipers to completely cover the windshield, thus completing the installation.

: The California PopTop™ has a very small storage package---about the size of a football. The storage bag is attached to the underside of the cover (like a shirt pocket) and is turned inside out when in use, so the bag always remains clean even when your vehicle isn't.

PopTop Removal

: Starting at the rear of the vehicle, loosen the cord lock and unfasten the hook from the trunk lid.

: On the passenger side, walk toward the front of the vehicle while holding the nylon cords. Draw the cords together to gather the material and let it settle onto the windshield.

: Remove the PopTop's flap from under the windshield wipers and position the material on top of the flap.

: Remove the mirror pocket from the passenger-side mirror and begin to roll the material across the windshield.

: Remove the mirror pocket and starter strap from the driver-side mirror and continue rolling the PopTop toward the driver's side on top of the flap.
