We recently replaced mine with the help of an awesome forum member here in Florida. It was VERY tight at first. I was worried about the fit and perhaps quality control is lacking or perhaps it's normal.
We loosened all screws of the front header bow (the large piece with the handle) just enough to pull out some of the material as much as possible so it would have just a little more material.
Then tightened up while pulling out as much material as possible..

The rear end always matches but whe sitting inside of the car, I could see sunlight shining through the bottom where the vinyl strip meets the fabric.
3 days in the Florida sun did the trick. At first I was barely able to close the top without someone pushing down on the left and right front side while latching. So I didn't even touch or cycle it for three days. The pressure distributed evenly and a few days later the rear had dropped and the front was no problem to close.
I am not sure if these tops are designed this way, if it's normal or if it's bad fitment but it did resolve itself by leaving up the top and letting it sit in the sun.
It is a little unfortunate though as from what I hear the Ez-Top doesn't have that problem. It fits perfect from the get go and you would think BAS would give our tops a little bit more fabric as obviously I wasn't the only one having issue.

Maybe take some pictures and show us where your concern is but I am positive it will still settle if it was anything like mine.
