Default My soft top

I've noticed that my soft top does not COMPLETELY go ALL the way DOWN, i know it can go down at least another 4inches, sometimes it folds down all the way. Anyone encounter this problem?!?!

could it be that i dont put the top down much? so its still stiff or something..?

those elastic straps can get weakened over time, so you could buy the upgraded elastic straps(forgot who made them though). they worrk really good.

When it's colder, the top doesn't like to go down all the way. It's vinyl and doesn't fold as easily as it would when it's warm. Some people raise and lower it again, I just push it down the rest of the way with my hands.

It isn't the straps in your case.
