Does your rear door glass go all the way up to the top of the channel which runs along the top of the soft top?

Mine stops a few mm short of going all the way up and, as such, is very close to not being under the material of the roof all the way round.

I've tried re-calibrating, but the rear window will not go any higher.

Just wondering if anyone else has similar fitment issues?

I'd have to check, but I think mine goes fully home on my soft top.

It quite often snags on the outside of the channel though then suddenly jumps home with a thump.

Have you tried adjusting the dials on the inside of the hood ? IIRC they have 4 positions. This helps with the fit. At least it did on mine.

Yeah, they help a little, but I think ideally the window needs to raise another couple of mm (it's been re-calibrated) or the frame of the soft top rear window needs to be a couple of mm lower.

I've read that the corner locking posts can be adjusted, but haven't looked into that yet.

Everything seems fine and it seals, but I'm worried about heavy rain.
