Gerry,


Leave the top up, unlatched, out in the sun, until it heats up, then try 
to latch it.


The heat cycle usually does the trick to allow the fabric to become 
compliant and stretch just enough.

        <p>So I was trying to put my hardtop on today for the first time
          just to see how it would fit and the three clamps that secure
          the top to the windshield do not lock down tightly.  One locks
          down but is very loose.  The other two don't even go flat.  I
          have a similar problem with the soft top with one of the
          clamps.  Is there a trick to this?  Can they be made so the
          top locks down more securely?  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
