Default Help with first install of soft top

I was wondering if this is how the JKU soft top is suppose to be...I had an 08 jk and around the doors it would tuck up and in. I installed the soft top on the JKU today and it doesn't have that...it seems to just sit on the outside above the doors. I hope this doesn't sound dumb. Thanks

Thats the way my wife's '13 is, it just lays on the frame. The rear vinyl windows do tuck underneath. Im shocked that the thing is so watertight and we have torential rains in Houston sometimes.

Yep, I like it much better than my 08. I can open the Sunrider in like a minute for a quick ride around town.
