Default Trouble with passenger side convertible latch...

Hey everyone, quick question. I recently took my hardtop off to enjoy some top-down cruising. It stays on 95% of the time, but I couldn't take it anymore; the weather was just too nice. Anyway, the first couple of times I put the top up/down, I had no problems. Latched right up like new.

Since then, I've been having some trouble with the passenger side latch. It's like the roof doesn't close quite enough to latch it without pulling down on the roof itself from the outside (ie. sticking a hand out the window and pulling down on it). Like I said, never a problem before, but suddenly started. It doesn't appear to have any damage to the softtop frame or anything.

Any ideas?

when you raise the top, you have to use that handle built into the softop to pull it forward before you try to latch anything. i do this all the tiem and never had any problems.
