Problem with New Top Install

I'm in the middle of installing a new top - almost finished!

I followed the pelican parts DIY for the most part.

Now, I just installed the top into the rear channel and went to do a test fit by closing the top.

Unfortunately, the top wouldn't close the whole way. It gets about this far:



I thought that perhaps there wasn't enough slack on the rear part, so I unhooked the cables that hold the rear channel down and tried closing it that way:




It got a little further:



The cloth in the back is somewhat tight, but it doesn't strike me as being tight enough to completely stop the top from closing. I half suspect something else is causing the issue. Anyone have an idea what could be causing my top not to close?
