I got a Bikini for christmas to replace a chinesium mesh top that was already falling apart after 3 seasons.
It's nice quality. Some folks won't like that it attaches with just bungees - I prefer that. I really wanted to stay away from Velcro - it always becomes a mess one way or another.
But yeah, the front latch thing - even with the soft top, the front corners catch the pull latches if you don't unscrew them. I used another bungee to keep them pulled taunt but let the front bit fold down so I can get the latch through, but kinda disappointing.
Still like the product though, and feel good about supporting a guy making these by hand in Idaho rather than some anonymous child factory working China. And no glued on Velcro (I know, you guys will say it's awesome and holds up well.. and I'm sure it does, I just don't want it on mine)

The canvas top they make for Ford is horrible. The front edge pops up at 20+ mph, the zippers have no flap over them so water runs up and over driving in the rain.
Wish I saw the jtops one before buying this one. They have a hard edge end at front that has almost no gap and the two hooks that clip to the mounts are on the TOP of the top of the cover where they should be and not under it like theirs.
