Your top looks very good, but you didn't have a difficult time stretching the top across the front. On my first attemt I had the front surrounds as you have them and I could not get the velcro to seal and lost some of the skin from my knuckles. I call Besttop and they told me I may have the front surrounds on the wrong side. I flipped them over and placed them on the opposite side and the top went on like a glove. The surrounds even fit better around the doors.
Notice the lines on the front and rear surrounds, the top and bottom rails don't keep the same line back to front until you swap sides.
I hope you don't find this post too critical, I'm just offering my experience.

I switched them around and it looks great! I haven't gone down the road yet, but I'm sure they'll stay in place now!
