DoubleWall HardTop Installation Help

[Thealien]

How nice is the blazer? Are you worried about scratching it while installing the top?

Are you trying to do this just to get it home? And if so how far will it need to travel?

One of my blazers was shipped 1500 miles with just the front bolts and the rear bolts holding the top on and none of the bolts that went up from underneath the bedside.

I usually take a couple of 2 x 6 boards long enough that they extend past the bedsides about a foot. One person on the end of each board and you can place the top on the bedside with no concerns about it falling off and damaging the vehicle. You can then lift the front of the top and remove the front board. And then the rear of the top and remove the rear board. The bolts that go up from the bottom of the bedside into your double wall top are 5/16 x 18 thread. I would run a thread chaser into all of the top holes before trying any of this. At the front of the blazer the two corner bolts go through the visor mounting bracket and into the top from the bottom. It is also I believe 5/16 x 18 but it’s at least a couple of inches long. Does your top have the two brackets that hang down at the back of the top and bolt to the bedside? And do you have the two little brackets with the three holes in them from mounting the top to the windshield frame?
