Default freedom top??????????

so i took the rear of the top off and i just wanted to use the front 2 sections of the top but when i put it back on i noticed that it did not seem to be as tight in the rear screw in part.... but it is screwed in all the way and when you hit a bump it bangs alot and make an obnoxious amount of noise is there a way to make the rear tighter so this does not happen.....cause i love just having the front sections looks good and keeps the showers and mud off of my head...would love some input cause im sure im not the only one that has tried this.....................

Not sure if this is the problem or not but at the rear of each of the two front pieces is a little fold away black foot.

If you have front panels on only this "foot" should be in the down position.

Haven't had my rear off but have heard that is what is required with just the front two panels on.

Hope this helps

the Manuel dose not have a word in it about the feet at the back of the front panels and if you try to screw down the front to much it will go right though the top.you might want to make sure you didn't put a hole in your top.

Frayness1 is correct. When using the front pieces you have to put the feet down. This will keep the top snug, with no bouncing, and not allow you to bust a hole through the top with the screws.
