Important note: Ensure that the factory
weather seal on Jeep is sticking out just like it
was from the factory freedom panels. Trying
to hide the seal by pushing it under the top
can compromise the weather-tightness of
your Jeep, potentially allowing moisture or
other elements to enter. To avoid this issue,
make sure the weather seal is properly
installed and sticking out as it should be.
Your new Element Sky View
Roof is now successfully
installed on your vehicle!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do NOT use chemicals or abrasives on the clear roof panel.
Use only water and wipe GENTLY with a microfiber towel for cleaning. Applying too much pressure can
scratch the Element Sky View roof panel.
When taking the Element Sky View roof panel through a car wash, use only a TOUCHLESS car wash. The
brushes in a regular car wash can scratch the Element Sky View roof panel.
