Most of the guides say open the top until the front of the top is 4" - 10" away from the windshield. Sounds like you're saying that's not enough and I should keep raising it until the rear of the top can flip forward. Do I have that right?

If so, how much distance between the front of the top and the windshield is probably about right?
I generally put the top back until the front part is right above my head. This should allow you enough room/slack to fold the window to where it's not hitting into the roll bar.
