Default 2012 jku soft top question

Anyone else have this problem? It's where the side soft windows meet the rear doors. It flares out every time I out them back on and causes a draft inside.

your not tucking the plastic/hard lip of the window into the channel in the door surround.that stitched part on the window, should be just about even with the edge of the door surround. If you look closely there is a channel for the plastic/hard edge to tuck into.

Should look like this. (popping out a bit at the top is normal)

here's a tip, use the door to seat the plastic lip. line it up at the bottom (usually easier) make sure the whole vertical line is straight, and close the door with regular force (might have to do it more than once). Poof, it's put together.
