My 2010 has been doing this past few months at least as well, where 5th bow isn't retracted up far enough & tonneau lid clips it opening. Sometimes the 5th bow cracks & creaks as it folds into the tub & occasionally it will catch the rear of the tub peeling down on the vinyl lining. A convertible/upholstery shop in town checked my bungees & said they looked good, but they "tightened" them up just to be sure. Klaus at tophydraulics suggested might be the hydraulics pump internal valves causing issues, since it's quite sporadic---happens sometimes, other times seems to open without issues.

Just wondering if anyone else had similar repair, & if anyone replaced pump with one from Klaus--how it functioned, fix issues, etc?
