Default Soft top rubber seals

I replaced my soft top a few days ago, but i can't get the rubber seals above the windows to stay in place. Any tips?

Yeah, you have to. The soft top folds under the metal plate that's under the rubber seal

yessir, just the 1st and the 3rd seal on each side is required for soft top replacement.

@Nadiyaz try placing the back part of the seal over the back part of the metal retainer the you push the front lower part in. The lower edge of the seal needs to be trapped inside the channel of the metal retainer. The seal is basically pressure fit into the channel holding it in place.
