Bengt, do you have the top boot to secure over the folded top ??? This is the black or tan cover that protects the folded top. Along the rear belt line molding there should be studs to secure the boot and keep the low hanging material and window from drooping down. Maybe this is what you need to help clear the spare tire. The boot also helps keep the loose/folded top from blowing freely in the wind.
