Default Top dosent open correctly

I noticed yesterday when I dropped the top it didnt open correctly. When the top is fully down I cant open the top part of the carpartments were the wind deflector is. The top is just touching it which wont allow for me to open that capartment why do you think this is happening?

yes the top goes all the way down, however when it is all the way down you can see part of the rear glass

Sounds like it's not folding properly.

the front elastic straps are likely worn out.

The straps suggestion might be right. I should look into it.

Yes, if it is still under warranty.

If NOT, "Modifry" (on this website) has developed an easy and inexpensive fix. You end up replacing the elastic straps with new/wider ones that are stronger and won't wear out as easily.

Good luck,
Hockey

My warranty is expired. I'll look into the straps and try to do it myself.
Thanks for the help
