Hi all,

my truck came with a factory hard top, after sourcing everything over a few months I finally got my soft top on and do love having it. Although, despite my best efforts, it just doesn’t seem to sit right.

would any factory soft top owners be willing to take a photo of how yours sits on your rear brackets in the cargo bay? With a measuring tape from the front support pin showing its distance from the top and front plastic?

I’ve muscled with this 5 or 6 times now. It’s still catching when putting the front locks down, and the rear doors are just slightly rubbing on the pillar canvas when closing. Any help would be appreciated.

So my initial install did not work properly the roof was set up too much on the back and when closing the entire roof. the attachment in front were not closing. I had to loose everything and push foward and then it'll work properly. The side window panel can also be hard to install. The trick is to lift the back of the roof a little to make it easier to install. Just like in this video
Hope this help.
