Default 16 People to remove a hard top? Seriously?

This is a screen shot from the OFFICIAL Jeep reference app. I think they meant to say 1 at each corner, but the way this reads....I dunno how'd you even get 16 people in there at the same time!

Poorly written. What they really mean is you should have 4 adults total with one adult assigned to each corner.

Never underestimate a desperate man who is alone and wants to take off his Jeep top on a nice day. All of the sudden the average man becomes either a world class strong man or an engineer who can design the golden gate bridge. We have all been there. LOL

Oh yeah, damage your top using less than 16 adults and you will void your warranty !!

I wonder who they consider an adult. Is it 18 and over or do you have to be 21.....

Hey guys
The saddest thing about that instruction sheet is that some poor sucker worked an extra few years of his life to pay for his moron kid to get through university to get the job writing it
