ABSTRACT:
A removable header for a soft top or similar accessory for a sport utility vehicle. The header has a main body that is releasably securable to the vehicle windshield using just clamps. The header also includes short extensions on each side of the main body that extend rearwardly of it. In use, the extensions abut portions of the safety bar arrangement immediately adjacent the windshield of the vehicle and prevent the header from rotating beyond a predetermined position relative to the windshield.
