I just got a Bestop replace-a-top (black sailcloth) soft top and installed it on my 2006 Rubicon.
I've installed several soft tops on my TJs in the last several years... But I've never gone with the more expensive sailcloth before, so I'm not sure what's normal.
I noticed a few things that seem off:
• Tiny holes around the zipper on both half door sleeves (picture 1)
• A large gap in the front top corner of both half door sleeves
• Smaller gaps in both the front and back corners on the bottom of the sleeves (not as concerning as the ones up top, which seem to let water in)
I've messed with these for hours, and I can't seem to close in the gaps—especially the ones at the tops of the doors. Has anyone else had these problems? Is this normal?
1: Holes around top of the zipper (both sides have these)
2: Gaps at the top of door sleeve (both sides do this) — and more holes around the zipper
3: Bottom of door sleeve
