So I am not sure what actually happened but the cables on each side of the top no longer seem to align properly as seen in the picture below:
The convertible top can still open and close just fine but it doesn't look right. I have no idea why it started to do that or why; and no idea on how to fix it. Any idea??

And for reference, this is how it used to look like a few years ago:

The cable is normally inside a seam. It is used to hold the sides down tight. It looks like the seam came apart or the cable came loose. Either way take it to an upholstery shop. They may be able to resew it.
