Default Soft Top fitment question

Put the soft top on for the summer last week and noticed a slight fitment problem. The back corner pieces of the soft top fabric seem to be pulling away from where they tuck into the corners of the body.. This is on the sides where the plastic pieces are attached to the body rail right over the zippers.

I don't remember them doing this last year when I put the top on. You push them all the way in and they just come back out about an inch or so.. They don't seem to come all the way out though.

I had the top up and down a couple of times last week and it didn't seem to make any difference when putting the top back up.

Is the top just stretched to the point that it's not tight enough?

Mine had the same problem. Dealer took it in the garage and had it fixed in 10 minutes. Said it the frame bars needed a little tweeking. I wish they had let me watch where they did the bending in case I need to tweek it again.
