Default Top slopes direcly down at the end

I have noticed when i look at my softtop it doesn't have that slight little curve to it, but I slants directly down. Anyone know why.

That's how the softop is.

Glass doesn't bend, so you'll have that slope.

U cant really tell from the picture but normally there is a slight curve between the glass and the top of the roof. This just slants directly down.

I do see your problem, but not sure what the cause is. If your top operates properly I wouldn't worry about it!

One of your bars isn't falling into the right spot as the top goes up. You will probably see 2 of them close to each other or one not pushing up on the soft top.

The straps holding the last bow to the chassis are disconnected and is not keeping the bow "in place" Those straps attach to the second stud on each side. In order to get to them, the entire rear tray area needs to be removed.

2poor2mod I think u are correct there are two straps one on each side of the roof that just hangs freely. I have always wondered where they go. But I paid no mind cause my roof had no problems going up and down.but I always knew it didnt look like other softtops. Is there a thread somewhere on the website that can explain more and show how rooftop mechanism is supposed to be like? And thanks to all of you for ur help also
