Greg,

The top needs to be under tension.  On the Bugeye the top bow "legs" are 
spring loaded to apply an upward pressure on the top.  Do you have that type 
of bow?  If the top is to large then the springs can not put enough pressure 
on the top.  Also when erecting the top be sure to fully seat the cross bar 
into the windshield recess.

Hope this helps
