I bought a used soft top off here, it was damaged at one point from a garage door. Everything seems good with it, but the fabric seems to be kind of tight. Just wondering how tight is the fabric on peoples soft tops?

You want it tight. So when your on the highway there is no fabric flapping around.

Tight is better. Mine after over a year of use seems to have loosened some and have traced my flapping and top popping to that as the cause it seems but its strange its only on the Right side.

My right latch kept popping too, i adjusted the latch and catch. It seems better but i havent driven enough to see if it fixed it.

Yes my right latch does not snug down nearly as tight as my left. I think I am going to have to try to make some adjustment to it or have the dealership do it.
