Rear Hatch Release
Took my top off for the first time.........the rear latch was very hard to release. I had to push with both hands in order to release it. Is this normal? Does it need adjustment?

The release for the rear latch on the top should not be that difficult to pop. I always release the front two latches first, then push the button on the rear latch. Very little effort required.
