At my wits end with this install of the Bestop Sunrider, the main problem is the doors bow out and have to be really slammed shut very hard with the Bestop on, it seems like the rails the topper sits on are too low and conflict with the doors closing. When I close the doors the whole rail moves up about a quarter inch and the gutters on the top don't line up with the existing Freedom Panel hard top in the back.
Anyone else have any issue's like this? I have contacted Bestop but the 1st response from them did not even address the main problem of the doors not closing like they are suppose to.
I attached 3 pics for reference.

Thanks!

I guess that is why they originally offered free home install
