I have a bestop soft top on my 98 Wrangler. Haven't used in a while so when I went to put it back on the webbing strap was holding the top back from unfolding all the way. See picture.

I noticed that somehow in storage the webbing strap was wrapped around the bar and I think it should be a straight shot from the 2 attachment points.

I want to confirm what is the correct orientation of the webbing and if wrong how to correct? I cant seem to stretch it far enough to unwrap it leaving the alternative being I guess to drill out the rivets and reattach which I don't necessarily like.

Appreciate the advice. No idea how this happened but I do need to correct it. Thanks.

It got that way with the rivet in place, so it can be returned to normal without removing the rivet. You just gotta figure out how to fold it so the strap can be moved.
