Thought of this.. but I envision it doing more bad than good.
Way tighter than my OE top. The Trektop Nx I had on my JKs used a different design. No plastic flappy clip things that secures the top deck to the top of the door surrounds. There was a rain gutter built into the top edge of the door surround and the top deck arms just laid in there. Much nicer design and I'm disappointed the design hasn't carried over to the TJ.
That makes it tighter since all the tension is now latched into the plastic flappy clip things.
hmm... that's an idea. I contemplated drilling a small hole in the ends of the tabs and threading a loop of cordage through but that wouldn't likely interfere with the door seal. Your idea might just work. Though I am not a fan of 550 for a few reasons. I have tons of cordage. Worth a try for sure. Thank you.
