I had a similar problem once. I attributed it to the top shrinking while
it was in the boot for a number of years while the car sat with the hardtop
on it. It fitted fine before I stopped using it, and did exactly what you
described when I tried later. Since I neither changed nor adjusted
anything, this was what I assumed could be the only cause.
