Default My top lost it's memory over the summer

A bit of a struggle to get it on in my 60 deg garage. Finally resorted to a heat gun to warm it a little and it snapped down OK.

BUUUT - Noticed after I had the rear bow pushed back and the windshield bows clamped down that it had pulled the top of the windshield frame up on the glass - probably close to a 1/4 inch in the middle. Is that a pretty common experience with the rest of you with tops? I don't remember seeing that last year but maybe I just didn't notice. I relaxed the clamps to let it sit awhile but that didn't relieve the pressure in the middle very much. Most of the tension is probably from the rear most bow. My main bow adjusters are screwed down to their lowest point.
