Good luck.
Chris, ...I've been putting my roof up and down most every day now. Like you, I get the "thud" and not a bang, but I only use one hand. There seems to be a slight resistance as I start pulling the top to the windshield frame, then it just pops into place.
My XFire is a 2005 so the top is three years old but looks brand new. There has been no shrinkage of the material that I can tell. Everything is like brand new. Am I one of the lucky ones?
