is it tight or loose? based on the picture I would say you need a new cable system.

There is a canvas flap along the top in the back, is it twisted around the frame piece? It runs along the roof above the side rear windows

how it buckles at the corner of the door there, almost makes it seem like something is catching the canvas or the cable and pulling it inwards.

The shield on the Flux capacitor is leaking radiation that is causing your top to warp. Put the top down and allow the radiation to escape!

Those door surrounds look wrong for some reason. Are they the Oem 2010 ones that came with your Jeep? They look '07-'09. (Guessing it is a factory soft top for your 2-door that is)
