Default Soft top question

I can't get my soft top to lower anymore than this. It sticks up at a 45 degree angle because the material is stretched across the roll bars. It seems to lower and install correctly.

You need a couple more folds in there when you drop it down, the fabric should not be that wide. Check YouTube for some good how to videos.

Yeah the first fold should be right where the header is... Then create a tight "W" pattern before lowering it down. Sometimes you have to re-adjust the folds or create another one to get the fabric more bunched up together so you can lower the frame.

Thank you both. This fixed it. I'm definitely not smarter than a 5th grader.
