Issue with mopar premium soft top

[SouthLeb]

I installed the mopar 4dr premium soft top. All seamed fine until I tried to close it. I cannot get it to close down to latch it to the front.

Anyone had a similar issue on first install?
The weather was cool 48F.

Had the same here as well in cool weather.. I just kept pulling until I finally got it latched. It wasn't fun by myself. Once it get's latched it will stretch and be ok the next time after you leave it for a while.

Thanks. I will keep trying

You could have someone help by pushing lightly on the rear bow of the top, while you try to latch it.

Also mess with the latches they reach quite a bit more than the jk.

I had the same issue when I installed mine. It was in the low 40’s, had to push hard to get the hook to latch in, but once it was in I left it for a few days and stretched out. Now it hooks right in when I close it. The bigger pita was the windows, getting them to stretch in to place.

Yea, the latch can actually pivot a lot more than you may think. Try messing with the smaller latch inside the big one a bit. Sometimes you can pivot the smaller one into position while pressing forward on the top a bit.

But yea, like others have said, once you latch it the first time, give it a day or two to stretch and you'll never have the problem again.

Thank you all. Finally got it all together
