Loose soft top...

I recently bought a Bestop sailcloth replace-a-top for my '95 YJ. I installed it in a heated garage w/ the temp around 70 degrees. I used the origional factory hardware to mount the top on. After a couple of days i noticed that the main skin of the top - mainly over the 2 front seats is extrealy loose. If i unzip one of my windows the top over my head flaps up and down so hard im afraid its going to bust... plus the noise drives me crazy. Its also collecting a considerable amount of rain.
I got the top through Quadratec and was planning on calling thier customer service, but i thought id run it buy all of you first.
any thoughts/ideas? Is there some kind of spreader bar that i can get to remedy this problem?
Thanks
 

my new top is saggin in one spot in the rain as well... when i go to get in, it pours on me... i still love it.. and haven't bothered looking into adjustments yet

quadratec has an adjustable spreader bar for the rear part of the setup, you might also try putting something on top of the bar that goes across the middle of the top to raise the top and make it higher and tighter, like wrapping some sweatshirts or sumn around it, id call quadratec tho because the sailcloth is supposed to not stretch and all that mess
 
A/C question

I have the same problem every time I switch from my hard top to my soft top. I have to readjust my windshield frame each time. Try moving your windshield frame forward and it will tighten your soft top. You might have to adjust the position of your doors to get rid of the gap inbetween the door and windshield frame.
