Default Top not closing right, or is it normal?

When the top is all the way up (not latched), the passenger side is much closer to the latch than the driver's side. I have to pull the top down hard and latch the passenger side and then I can get the driver's side. Is that normal or is it tweaked?

Thanks

It should be pretty even across the top. You should NOT have to latch one side first over the other. As you said, something is tweaked.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I think I'll get the subframe connectors and probably a 6 point cage so that I can run it at the track in the 13's and not get booted. Hopefully that'll fix it.
