I'll keep trying for another week or so and then take it back to the dealer for an adjustment if it still doesn't close. It seems to bind just a tiny bit on the roll bar when it goes through its second phase of closing - after the toneau cover has closed. It actually closes in a much smoother fashion than the original top so I'm pretty satisfied so far. I'm confident the dealer will make it right but I agree with Hi-Step’n370Z – Nissan should initiate a TSB on this issue.

Does anyone know how TSB's are initiated?
I don't know how many oil burning issues there were before Nissan put out a TSB on it, but since the number of top tear/wear issues is beginning to look like it may be on the increase, the numbers may be close to crossing over the line of a TSB on the problem.
I am not trying to be a fire starter, but as others have mentioned, and I agree, this top tear issue is no joke, and it may be increasing in numbers, making it a legitimate serious issue. And I must add; an expensive issue as well.
A couple of months ago, I was of the mindset that only a "few" Roadster owners were affected due to some manufacturing glitch, or other damage between manufacturing and delivery, but lately, I am not so sure I feel the same way.
As we all progress forward, watching what seems to be an ongoing or possibly an increasing-in-numbers issue, I think the first question to ask is; does anyone know what has to happen to initiate a TSB from Nissan?
