I understand your concerns, I wanted to share this great informational video that may have better insight into this. https://www.jeep.com/wrangler/exterior.html#wranglertopI am unable to put the soft top back on. The one side is in the lock position and will NOT unlock. So I have one side in lock and one in unlock and obviously can’t get them back in. Any tips?

OP's photo shows a big screw . Unscrew it . If won't unscrew ... Lemon . Call Mike Manley , CEO .A video of lowering the top is not going to help his situation. His lock mechanism is stuck in the locked position.
I am unable to put the soft top back on. The one side is in the lock position and will NOT unlock.
ok i just fixed mine . This is what i did ..first i put the top back on the jeep, by putting the side that was locked in the bracket and putting the bolts in but not tight . Next on the side that was unlocked i got in the jeep and rotated the unlocked side to the same position as the locked side and had my wife put the bolts in (this will take some strength) . At this point i pulled down on the top and unlocked the locked side with ease. Not sure how The top got in the locked position but i will be looking for it next time . Hope this helps .
Yes, I didn't want to apply too much pressure or bending, and I took it to the dealer. The last thing I wanted was for them to say I caused the issue. It was the first one they saw like this, and they appeared concerned that this new unnecessary locking mechanism could be problematic. I haven't applied the stupid lock since that day!How did you finally fix this? Take the soft top to the dealer? I had the same issue today when I tried to install my soft top. Thanks
