Default weird soft top issue

I just noticed an issue with the rear window on my soft top.
This pic is the jacked up part I can't seem to figure out...

This is the side that looks normal...

Thanks, 6

It looks like your plastic clip on the drivers side has slipped and is not holding the window in place.

It's on there pretty good. I haven't had the chance to really mess with it. The first time I noticed it was on the dealers lot. That clip was off and laying in the tub.
Anybody else?

I noticed in your first picture that the plastic window also has a ripple in it. the problem most likely is that when you put the window back in you did not make sure that the zipper ends on the drivers side lined up before you completely zipped in the window, Unzip the window completely, take out the bar at the bottom leave the inner edge of the sail flaps unclipped reinstall the window making sure to line up the bottom edges of the zipper on the sail flap and the window itself and then zip it up and around, leaving a bout 6" on both sides so u can put the retainer channel back in place then zip the rest of the way attatch last clips and reach to inside and secure the velcro.

hope that helps
