Most possible you haven't locked the latches and the hooks just palying around. You can use an elastic band to secure them in place

The aftermarket hartop install should add two rubber stoppers onto the softop frame.
These small square pillars stop the soft top folding so tight and low, only be a half inch or so.
But it means that the rubber/metal bracket & bumpers on the hard top rear edge will sit on the soft top so it cant flap up and down

I always thought this was a "feature"

I'll ask the dealer to have a look at in when it is next in for a few bits under warranty.
