Default JKU top not flush with side

The passenger side of the cable tension soft top doesn't sit flush with the soft top door surrounds. The driver's side is fine. I've tried realigning the top several times but nothing seems to help. As soon as I close and lock the top, it pops up around the surround.

Could the cable tension be too tight? Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks all!!!

I think I'd be suspecting more of a bent frame than a cable. Have you taken a close look at how the frame crossover is right there relative to the driver's side?

Bending the frame a bit seemed to help re-align it. Thanks!!
