no... I think he means that plastic piece that 'hangs' from the bottom of the soft/fabric top, its supposed to 'curl' under into the plastic channel at the top of the doorway?

 

Looks like its a 2010 so i dont think it would have the plastic that you have to slide into the window frame.

 

The 2010's do not have to be pulled and curled(hooked) into the Chanel above the doors?

 

oh. my bad.

prolly why i hate putting my top up and down.

sorry

 

I'd rather just keep the top down all the time but I live in Seattle. We get a little rain sometimes

 

My 2011 does the same thing. I"m not sure if it's just me (or my way of putting the top up/down) or just the design. It does look a little goofy and I hope it doesn't become a problem spot over the years for wear.

And Yes: My 2011 doesn't have the retaining channel for the front part of the soft top either. I love that too. Easy to raise/lower the Sunrider. Also - the only problem I ever had with my 1999's soft top was those retaining channel clips. I had to sew them back on both sides to keep them from completely coming off. And hadn sewing that thick plastic through the fabric is a bear on the fingers...

 

I just went out and looked at mine, 2010 that I just put on this past weekend, but I don't have the same issue.

Is your window tucked all the way under? There is a piece of black plastic, that's independent of the hook, but it's suppose to sit on top of the surround. I took a picture, sorry for the crappy BB quality.



It's the rectangle piece, on the right side of the picture. It's basically a long/thin U, that sits within a channel on your surround. Check that piece and see if it's correctly seated.

 

damn, they really changed the tops that much in 1 year?

this is the piece i was speaking of on my 2011 that gives me a 'problem' (its prolly just more annoying and useless than anything)...

 

So i just went and pulled the top up to check that piece and when I let the top go the spring kind of snapped down into place. I went and did the same thing on the other side and now they both look normal.

 

Nice
