You could try tweaking the bow brackets on the sport cage up abit. I backed my jk outta my garage with the door partially down, knocked it off the rails, bent the g door and the bows and brackets on my top. The rear area like yours was hanging about 2in lower than yours, wheras before it was super tight. I ended up getting new brackets but since the bows were bent and because of where, really no way to get them straight. I ended up tweaking the brackets up abit using a combo of vise grips and a crescent wrench. I left the brackets attached to the bar then tightened the crescent on the dip in the bracket and nudged it up abit. You can't bend it up very far but it may help you get it abit tighter.

I guess it was a "big deal" enough for Jeep because they redesigned it on our 2011.

I was thinking of maybe adding some kind of a snap type button on there...........
