Softtop Won't Latch

[Spearmin]

So My softtop has been down since Late April. Its starting to get a little chilly here so I decided to finally put it up. Strangely, in the full up position there is a wider gap than usual between the latches and the receivers on the windshield. I could try and force it, but it feels like I am about to brake something. Any ideas before I head of to the dealer?

Let it sit in the sun, it will stretch out.

This.

Mine simply would not close for a few days after I installed it out of the box. You will need to use some force to close it, but heating it with the sun or your heat on max for 5-10 minutes should help stretch it out.

Ok I'll give that a try...

Hi there, we are sorry to hear that you are facing this difficulty with your soft top. If you are unable to install this on your own, we recommend bringing this to your dealer for added assistance. Best of luck!

You guy were exactly right... put it up and left the heat on for 30min. I seriously doubted it would work, but it did. Love this board...
