I just installed my new top and curtain. The top fits snug, however the forward and aft bows don't line up with the reinforced strip and velcro. Now that the bow isn't aligned, the wind raises the top a bit and pulls at the velcro at an angle and it's starting to tear!
The bows and rails are in perfect shape and are straight, however the top itself doesn't line up. In fact, in the photo you can see that the lock/snap at the bow juncture lines up perfectly with the hole in the top, however the reinforced stripe is off! Odd.
Anyway, is it possible that there was a newer model of bow/rail combo for which this top might fit? If not, then I need to modify the bow with a second bar that does line up to prevent further damage.
Also, for the record the front bow sits too far forward and the rear bow sits too far back. The middle B-pillar is aligned as expected.
