I got a brand new vinyl soft top about 4 months ago. I have to adjust the top everytime i put it down so it doesnt wrinkle up when i put it up. Im getting tired of doing this and was wondering if there is any way i could get the top to fold down correctly. Pics below show what it looks like when i put the top down with no adjustment and how it looks like with adjustment. The adjusted top has more of an "S" shape look to it.

I never really took note of how mine folded. Now I'm going to have to check it out.

However, I'm thinking it's possible that after a bit longer the material will get softer and the wrinkles won't last once the top is up....that is after the material becomes more flexible etc. Just a thought.

I'm guessing the side straps that bolt to the body were not pulled and used. That strap will stretch it out right and helps fold.

Yeah the straps should help it fold like the bottom picture

there is a sping wire that didnt get taken off or threaded thru the new top. not many people know about it. there are a few parts like this that i see get overlooked on these jobs.

Just another reason why you should take this kind of job to someone who knows what they are doing.

^^^ agree. Hopefully the tension cable is still there and wasn't cut off inadvertently.

It's 13$ each side plus shipping at hondapartsdeals, probably more if you're ordering from your local dealership.

Who installed the top in the first place? You should make them pay for it
