hood catching on driver side rollbar on way up.

My Hood is catching on the drivers side rollbar on the way up. The hood liner drags on the back edge of the rollbar and this morning it actually slowed down the driver side. It does go up but i fear the material or stiching being stressed/stretched, making matters worse with time.

The hood appears to close evenly when the front edge meets the screen and also sits flush on both sides when closed, so I am a little confused.

Has anyone else had this and know a solution?

Not really any use to you, but it’s normal for the roof lining to touch the hoops whilst it moves up / down. Obviously not to the point it hinders the movement. Hopefully there is an easy way to make it tighter.
