You need to swap out the plastic header for the newer metal one.

Header piece is bad. 2007 it was plastic, and it was later changed to metal. You can buy the replacement piece and it will fit great again, unless you have extended warranty, in which case I believe it is covered.

About 200.00 installed. Cheaper than a new top and works great.
