Help needed with latch on premium top

Hi,

I just bought a 2015 Jeep with a Premium Sunrider Soft Top and I cannot get the two latches to lock down. I was able to lock them down a couple of times but now they come about a 1/8 to 1/4 inch short of the hooks.

Any ideas or tricks for this first time Jeep owner?

IDK if this has been fixed or even addressed...there are a lot of different threads about this type of thing.

One key in my experience is to do the latches on the header FIRST as soon as top is up...however do not fully latch. Than do the rear SAIL Panels on the back of the Jeep. Than side windows, followed by rear windows. ONCE everything else is done, THAN fully lock and latch header latches. However since this is a sunrider top it is also important to make sure it is clicked into place above the seats when first raising the top....the place where it pivots. Have not actually done a JKU so this MAY be a little off..but not much. GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks for your help. I have been able to get them latched but it was a struggle. This top has two latches that allow me to fold it back and secure it with two Velcro straps. I have not removed the rear windows or panels. I'll re-post if I hit another issue.

Again - many thanks for your help.
