Default Help with my soft top!!

Okay, I got everything on but am having problems. For one, when I move the top on (slide everything forward) and try to latch the front latches, it doesn't line up. The latches are about an inch too far forward, it's almost like the bars aren't resting on the door surrounds like they should. I have these clamps, and don't know where they go. Maybe because I don't have them on it's not sitting right? Where do these clamp/clips go??!?

Those are for the bar the holds your rear window to the tub. The one in you hand goes on the left side and the other goes on the right. Do you have a 2 door or 4 door?

You snap your rear window cross member into those fellas. Make sure you theyre lined up right when you put them on the tub or youre going to crumple the corner off your tailgate when you close it.

As far as the latches not reaching. Did you lock the sunrider into the door surrounds? if you don't then there will be too much tension from the back and the front will not be able to reach the latches.

Polish rule of thumb: When in doubt read the directions...

I put them on with the rear gate already closed.

Are your sail panels inserted? Are the bows being held up by anything like the retaining strap!

I don't know how to do that, or even if I have a sunrider top? Are all soft tops sunrider tops? It's not that the latches aren't reaching, it's that they're TOO far forward. I have to kind of force the top back a little and push it down, and it's still wanting to go forward. Something isn't right, and it's driving me nuts. It's going to pour down tonight and i'm racing against time!

If its a 2008 and up it should be a sunrider.

What are the sail panels? Bows? There is a strap that is latched to the middle bar to the one in the back on both sides?
