Default Softtop Help

I have a Supertop NX Twill top and I am getting wind noise from the Header area. It appears that the top doesnt come up far enough and tight enough. Ive looked online and at video and it seems as if I'm missing something. Can I get some pics of how ur softop meets the windshied pls. Thanks

Here is a gap that I have. Ive even tried to put weather stripping in there and it just makes it worse. (Sorry a small piece still stuck )

Do you have the pins engaged above the doors for the sunrider? I know I have to engage mine before latching the front.

Yes I do. Its been this way for awhile and I couldnt for the life of me figure out where wind noise was from. And even when I pull the latches down they are very loose.

I can take a pic of mine when I get home if you want. I don't get any wind noise and have the same top. If the fabric is loose you can adjust the rear bow back a hole to tighten it up.

Mine looks similar actually. But I'm not getting the wind noise. Maybe I have to close the sunrider more often to tell.
