    I’ve had my top for about 3 weeks and still can’t get the last button to snap in place. Anyone else have this problem? Do you suppose I should just move the snap over?

    Pulling the top down gives you a little extra room, but you really have to wang it.

    The problem is the snap on the fabric is to far forward, it comes down far enough but won’t pull back far enough to line up with the snap base. I pulled every which way

    I remember having trouble too. I unbuttoned the whole thing and tried different ways. Eventually, I was able to stretch it over enough to snap it in.

    Are you pulling down on the top cross bar? Maybe loosen the straps near your back window.

    I can get it snapped on by pulling down on the top cross bar but because there is so much tension on it it pops off after driving

    Yeah, that's why I was hoping loosening the straps up front might help. That's only thing I can come up with that might be able to give some slack.
