OK, the weather was too good this weekend and I decided to put the soft top on. I removed the hardtop yesterday (got the PO's storage cart with the Jeep) , and holy crap, that was too much fun. I've never thought driving could actually be this much fun.
However, I need to put the soft top back on atleast until I clear out l space in my garage next weekend. I'm having a WHALE of a time with this thing. It feels like it's too short to fit. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what. I did let it sit in the warm sun for hours and that did not help.
If I attach the bottom back side then the top doesn't reach the windshield. And vice versa if I attach the windshield side, there is no way I can stretch that thing to attach to the bottom lip. I watched enough videos, tried every which way and cannot figure it out. In the photos below none of the plastic/ rubber bits are tucked underneath anywhere.
I've attached some close up shots of the back area. There is a black webbing strap attaching the back horizontal frame to thet middle one and I cannot figure what it's for. Didn't seem removable so I did not try.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Have I attached the frame to thet center rollcage bar wrongly? The YouTube videos made it seem very easy and yet I'm really struggling with this. Would really appreciate some help!
