I know how you feel....

....I went through the exact same issue.

I ended up taking the car to a convertible top specialist. There was a very small, rectangular cloth tab that had come unglued from the top. Once it was rebonded, it pulled the top into the channel.

I will have to do some digging. This was five years ago. I found the solution on this forum someplace.

Thanks,

I'll give this a try, however, my top does not have that piece of material shown in photo #1, however, there is a 6" flap of material near the seam by the rear window. I attached a piece of elastic to that and wrapped it around the front frame pillar thinking that would work. FAIL!!!
