Sky One-Touch Top Sagging

[nickstef13]

I have a 21' JL with the SOT Top. I have noticed the last few months the area towards the front of the vehicle is sagging and has ripples through the fabric. I've seen people have this problem front to back but mine seems to be loose left to right (drivers side to passenger side). Anyone experience this or have a fix? I have no leaking or problems with the top, just the ripples and rain will pool there occasionally which I don't love.

Thanks!

It is due to the canvas stretching. I have a similar issue with my "Sunrider for Hardtop" Bestop Jeep accessory roof.

Any fix you know of?

Mine is doing the same thing, probably due to the snow load that I'm trying my best to keep off of it. Ah well, in a few weeks it won't be my problem anymore.

Though I am disappointed that the Sunrider has the same issue, as I do intend to get one of those for my new vehicle in the spring.

I'd be surprised if Jeep didn't think of this when designing it, though. Mine still works perfectly and doesn't leak, does yours? Maybe it will tighten back up when the weather gets warm again.

Sometimes a heat treatment applied to the canvas roof will restore its tension and elasticity.

No leaks and works perfect. I feel your pain with the snow I'm constantly making sure nothing is on top. Hopefully tightens back up. Thanks!
