My hard top has this absurd bow in the middle. Is there any way to fix it? Does anyone know what would cause it? The edges where the latches are sit flush but the middle bows up.
It was over the summer. This has gotten worse since then.Has the top been off and stored?
I will when I get it back from the shop.Just a thought... put a straight edge against the windsheild frame above the glass... almost looks like the frame is bent back a little just off center towards the right (pass) side...
Nope. Cleaned it all off in the hopes that was the case. Replaced the after market seal with a Mopar one.Is there any weather stripping in there that isn't supposed to be?
They have no adjustment. I have shimmed one side and am working on a gr8top latch replacementAdjust the latches, sir.
That surprises me greatly.They have no adjustment. I have shimmed one side and am working on a gr8top latch replacement
Not that I know of. But I'm starting to suspect the PO got t-boned and fixed it outside of insurance. It is as far back as it'll go, but I'll give it another try.First loosen the latches and the 6 tub mount screws, slide it back then tighten the tub mount screws then the latches.
Has that jeep ever been on its’ side?
Definitely not stock.My 06 has adjustable latches although I do not know if is a factory top. Can’t you bend the brackets.

No movement back. Maybe my windshield leans too far back?First loosen the latches and the 6 tub mount screws, slide it back then tighten the tub mount screws then the latches.

It appears to, to me- there is some adjustment I believe- @Jamison C knows the trick I believe, the @ signal will notify him-being an aftermarket top plays in, but at the end of the day it appears more like body alignment.No movement back. Maybe my windshield leans too far back?
The header piece itself was warped as it turned out.@Chris did you ever get this solved? Sounds similar to what I started out trying to solve. Was it just the seal for you? https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/adjustable-hardtop-hinges-latches.111/
