Default Soft Top Issue

When my soft top is up it seems to buckle a little over the rear doors. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Click image for larger version

Default Not exactly

I did have the issue with the rear windows not being completely covers where the velcro meets the top. I had to push done on the crossbar to get it cover but it didn't always hold. It never leaked.

Did you check your cable and spring makes sure they are not messed up?

The cable and spring seem OK and it hasn't leaked yet. I'm just concerned it's going to keep pulling away from the side and eventually not cover the top completely.

Have you opened the door and hooked the top into the channel yet? it looks like it isn't.

When you say hooked into the channel do you mean the point where the top is folded in half and the round part (not sure what it's called) snaps into the frame?
