Top not seating correctly

On the passenger side, when the top is closed, a section of the edge does not seat into the channel the way it should. When partially open, I can see a velcro strap on each side that appears to have become detached from where it had been sewn in. Both sides are this way, but only the passenger side has the problem with the top not closing properly.

I took it to an auto upholstery place today, and they said it would be very difficult to hand sew these straps back on. To do it right would require taking the top completely off, which is so much labor time that it would probably make more sense to just replace it at that point.

Otherwise, the top is in great condition.

Any ideas about how to repair this, instead of replacing?
