Default Soft top where it meets rear gate:

Put the soft top on for the first time today, fits tight but well, but one thing: When you put the bottom piece of plastic along the bottom of the rear window, and then you secure it to the corners...when you close the rear gate, does the gate COMPLETELY go over the rubber , or does some protrude? Mine bubbles out a bit..its almost as if the the thing needs to be half an inch lower for the gate to completely cover it when closed...

Mine does this too, I think it's normal but I'm curious if this is what it looks like to those whose Jeeps came as soft tops (I added my soft top after buying it as a hard top).
