Safety Canopy Module: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Lincoln Navigator and 2006 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

    All vehicles 

    WARNING:
    1. Before installing the safety canopy module, inspect the roofline for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its original condition and structural integrity. All damaged fasteners must be replaced and any foreign objects removed. Failure to do so may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
    2. Before installing the safety canopy module, if the module is damaged or the cover has separated or the safety canopy material has been exposed, install a new safety canopy module. Do not attempt to repair the safety canopy. Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
    3. Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of the safety canopy module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the safety canopy module from deploying correctly. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
