I just ordered a new top so i'll let you know if it keeps doing it after I swap tops.

It's not necessary to replace the entire top to fix this problem. However, if you do replace the top and use the old shoulder plates and the tension cables from the old top, make sure that the overall length of the cables has not been exceeded.
Take a look at the link in the post below for the correct measurement of the cables when you replace the top. They can stretch out over time, but it's possible to re-size them if you don't want to replace with new ones.
