Anyone seen this? I started seeing the Velcro on the rear window, then noticed the rear right corner of the top is not able to be pulled over the rear window “hard” corner. All looks to be snapped in correctly. No issue with connecting the latches snapping.

I cannot pull the top down to align the velcro. I am not able to see it is a top issue or a rear window issue. Any thoughts would be

We used to laugh at the cool folks who left their Jeep rear windows rolled up all summer….never to be zippable again.

I once washed and dried my Wlily’s soft top when putting it away for the summer. It shrank about 2” in every dimension.

To use the ol’ dealer’s line… “They all do that.” Just one of the little foibles of owning a soft-top vehicle… 💁🏻‍♂️

I used to leave mine rolled up across 4 jeeps, never had an issue with zipping them up when I wanted to lol.

Mine has always been like that too. It was crazy seeing the comparison to my friend's, her top easily folded over and covered the window velcro with plenty of space. Mine is so tight and barely reaches.

My issue is that it started mid summer. I got the Bronco November of ‘21. Opened and closed the top all spring and them in summer I could not pull the corner over the rear window molded plastic corner.

I had to be an adjustment. I will have the dealer take a look at it.
