Default taking off oem hardtop

Hi all! I have a quick question about the OEM tops. I bought my ssm ap1 with the OEM hardtop and catchers and strikers with locks installed. I broke a key yesterday learning how to unlock it -_-
...
Question is.. I know will attempt to take off the top today with my little sister and when I decide to put it back on, do I latch the windshield side first or the rears?
Thank you!

Latch the rears first. It doesn't really matter and it will sit the same either way but u should lock the rears down first for a good seal, then u should adjust the fitment of the rear latches to be even.
