Does it sort of look as if there is slack on the canvas underneath the window? It should be taut.

When the top is up everyting is nice and taught....it's when its down that there appears to be slack.

Is there a way to adjust the tension of the fabric when the top is down? The top is nice and taught when its up and locked. I don't think replacing the tension cables is the answer since I believe they are used to keep the back of the top tight when the top is fully closed.

Do the tension cables serve any purpose when the top is open and folded? I ask because when open I seem to have more slack in the exposed portion of the top once the clam shell is closed tight.

Any suggestion to tighten the exposed portion of the open top?
