I'll leave it latched for a few days in hopes it will stretch a bit. It would be a pain to do that every time.
And yes, it is definitely a very tight fit. Zero wind noise at 80mph on the highway.
Thx for the insight on loosening those two brackets, it's all good now they should definitely include this step in their directions

I bought mine from JC Whitney. You can open a chat box with a rep to see if the 2 door ones are in stock.

Does the top seal all the way to the metal above the windshield, similar to the original soft top? I just installed my NX and have a 1/2-1" gap along the front. I'm afraid it will leak during rain. I'd love any suggestions!

I bought mine from a guy that accidentally bought a 4-door Trektop NX, and he owns a 2-door.
He sold it to me for $550. Never installed, and all parts were there. I got lucky. Good ole' Craigslist.
