Default Vert Top help

Figured out how to get the top down,
but,
the leading edge of the cover kind of sticks up.
I can push it down to where it matches the body lines but it comes back up.
There is very little pressure pushing the cover up and I can very easily push the cover down.
Either I did something wrong or the latches need adjusting, I don't know.
Maybe the glass window slipped into the wrong spot.

Did you close the latches on the top after you put it down and before you shut the cover? Also its very important that you undo the velcro on the top that holds the headliner to the frame!!!!!!! that may cause bunching and may not allow your top to go all the way down! not to mention ruin your headliner! I cant find the words to use to tell you where they are except for it is where the back part of the window touches the top when its up. i guess the pillar could be used to describe it.

Loook in the area of the top on the interior that is circled in this pic and pull the headliner and the velcro will come off there is one on the passenger side as well then when you put the top up you just velcro them back. It should tell you this in your owners manual as well.

Thanks a bunch,
Velco thing did the trick.
Seem to give it more room.
Then I had to close the latch like closing a car door, nothing was in the way but the cover thing really closes down good and snug, shouldn't be any rattles there.
