Default Soft top bow issue




So, I posted this picture last Fall to try and figure out why my top wasn't sitting flush. The consensus was that the bow above the soundbar is too high. I had just taken the top off for the Winter and forgot about it. I just put the soft top back on a couple weeks ago, and it still seems to be pulling the top up. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried to see if it was bent, but I can't figure out where the problem is. I figured I would try to post it again since the other post was dead from being 6 months old.

Thanks in advance!

I recall the thread. Can you confirm that you've got the sunrider feature and that bow is locked into the door surround appropriately? I'll have to get pictures of my soft tops tonight for you if the forum will allow uploads.

I do have the sunrider feature, and it is locked in the channel. I tried my best to get a picture for you. I can try to get more if you need more, just let me know what you'd like to see.

Did you have more pictures of it? I'm working on mine through the week but driving my girlfriend's 2016 and it's got a similar bow over the door surround there. I'll try to get pictures if the rain cooperates. I'd like to see a good side profile to where we can see some of the top.
