soft top removal problem
I have an 07 Unlimited and am having a problem while removing the top. When I fold it back completely it does not lay flat in the back. The bars rest against the roll bar instead of laying on the frame of the jeep. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions. 
You can see how the bars rest against the roll bar in the picture...

you are not folding it properly. look at the owners manual closely and pay attention to the folds.
you have to manipulate the top to get the proper w shape. if you just let it fold naturally as you put it down it will fold wrong.

Yes u are folding it wrong. U are folding the sun rider part wrong, before u fold it down.
Fold the top into sun rider before folding all the way down.
If u look at the underside of the edge of the top there are X marks and slits. That's where it needs to fold.
Once u master this u will notice all the tops folded wrong driving along the road!!!
When it's folded in sun rider, all folds should be pretty much even with roll bar cross bar.
