Hardtop Latch Comes Loose

[Wizbangdoodle]

I have a '22 Wildtrak Sasquatch with a hardtop. A while back, I noticed the roof pieces were uneven height from the passenger side middle to rear section. When I looked inside, the latch was unlatched. Ok, I thought, maybe I forgot to latch it the last time I had it off. I secured the latch and off I went. A few weeks later, I notice the same thing, uneven height on the mating pieces. Sure enough, the latch is loose again.

This has happened on a fairly regular basis now. Has anyone else have this happen? the latch feels tight when engaged, but it seems to work it's way loose over time. Any ideas?

I have the same issue happening - Thought I was crazy given that I was infrequently driving it.

Will do, as soon as I'm back from vacation.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I’m having the same issue

To be honest, I had forgotten about this. The latch has not come loose for quite some time. I did have the entire top off this summer, so maybe it was repositioned slightly when I put it back on.
