Default Roof not going back on

First time I took the roof off yesterday I went to put it back on, lined up the pins with the holes, but it won't go back on. Didn't want to force it at all. Is there a trick to this?

You have to make sure the handles on the front of the roof are turned enough that they are out of the way so that they clear the windshield header when you place the roof on the car. You can also get them too far turned. They should be perpendicular to the windshield header.

Thanks, got it back on. Made sure everything was tightened down and secure, not interested in joining the flying roof club.
