Soft top hitting passenger door

[Chippy]

I just put my top back up and realize the passenger door isn’t closing all the way. It’s because the soft top is folding inwards and getting caught on the door. Why is this?

I can bend the soft top out of the way so the door shuts… but I shouldn’t have to.

Interference caused by the ducks on the dash...

Haha. I knew that comment was coming.

Is the plastic strip fully seated? It doesn't appear so in the picture

Also, it always best to be like @AndyG and remove all ducks before you photograph your dash.........

How's the rest of the door alignment? How about the front of the top to the windshield?

Is the plastic retainer tucked up in the track all the way?

Twice now with no answer. It doesn't look like it is in the picture

Oh crap. I guess I skimmed on that one. Lol. I didn't see you had already asked.

No worries, he might have went and checked it out and was like "lord how could I miss that" and went silent.......

Just kidding OP.

Haha. No it’s not all the way in there. If I push it all the way in it makes the problem way worse since it angles the top down more. If I push it in I can’t even shut the door.

I’ve kinda bent it back as far as I could manage. It still hits the top of the door though

Everything seems aligned aside from this part of the top. It sits on the top of the windshield perfectly even

Ok so I came out to the shop and snagged a picture of mine, granted I have 1/2 doors but the door surrounds are the same.

Here is mine at the top of the windshield.

And yours

Looks like something is off with yours.

Well, let me tell you something you pervert-

Thanks to people like you who are a lot more plentiful than I was hoping Readers Digest has done a one page article on the phenomenon of ducking.


And I quote” it is the best day when you walk out and find one on your jeep”

Well, if that’s the best day, just take a shotgun and blow my head off because I don’t think I’d want to live anymore if it doesn’t get any better than that.
(i’m channeling a little bit of Dennis Miller)

I mean my word what has the world come to when that’s the peak of your emotional roller coaster? I’d have to be in prison with @tr21triton as a cellmate to look forward to something like that.

I don’t know which one is worse doing that or proudly displaying those things as some kind of accomplishment.

I’ve seen people at events park their rig and have them all out on the hood like they were awards or something.

All that tells me is they’ve been within arms reach of that many people that are just as stupid as they are.

Ducking my big old butt.

I’m glad Sam Kinison is not having to suffer through this. I guarantee you he would have something to say..
