Hardtop T50 Bolt Torque Spec?

[BTFU2000]

What is the proper torque for the T50 bolts for the hard top? Manual says around 112 in-lbm for front 2 and 158 in-lbm for the rear 6. Saw other posts for 2018+ JLs with lower amounts.

Thanks in advance for any info!

The Torx fasteners that attach the hard top to the body should be torqued as follows using the provided #50 Torx head driver and ratchet:

Hard top to B-pillar: 119 in-lb +/- 23 in-lb(13.5 N·m +/- 2.7 N·m)

Hard top to J-rail: 154 in-lb +/- 30 in-lb(17.5 N·m +/- 3.5 N·m)
