Look at the side seals again. You need to roll them towards you and look further underneath because there is a second clip area you are not seeing. I had the same problem last week and just figured it out. Good luck with it!

Any 4dr owners having problems with the side curtains popping out on the leading edges? (coming out of the door seal)

Aggravating as crap to look in the side views and see side scoops!

As above.
You're doing it wrong.

This is the step I was missing. I too just installed my soft top for the first time and it was anoying the bleep out of me. The temp actually reached 74 here so it stretched a lot more than it did the first time I tried it. When I closed the rear doors it didn't look right. Now that I have wrapped the window into the crack of the rear door frame, it fits much better. Thanks for the tip.
