Be careful not to leave the vehicle outside for a long period
of time or drive at high speeds.
The soft top is not locked completely, and this may allow
wind, rain and foreign matter to get into the vehicle.

Any feedback on this?

The reason for that caution is that the rear of the top is more or less just sitting there & not locked down. Wind coming in the cockpit could cause the rear to raise up at high speeds.

Are you referencing this area in the rear?

2010 w/ 34k miles. I have had the vehicle for about 6 months now and I have been working with the dealer for the past 3 months trying to fix issues with the decklid hitting the top when opening. So far they have tried making adjustments to the left and right "adjuster bolts" along with replacing the straps in the top itself. Going back in for the 4th trip next weekend and hoping they can either get it sorted out or replace the entire top assembly under the extended warranty I purchased (thankfully). Quite frustrating but otherwise love the car.

My top rubs when putting it up or down. From reading here, it sounds like it is a common problem. I'm thinking there should be a way to adjust it but don't want to screw it up worse than it is. Also, when I put it up, I hear a loud pop when the top stretches out to reach the back. Is this normal? The pop sounds loud inside the car but doesn't sound loud outside.

Here's a video so you can see what I am talking about:

Wow, that really does rub bad & when the rear is dropped to lock in place it goes with a bang. That is what you are calling a pop. Mine when it is set down it goes nice & easy. Not just like a free fall.
Are you still under warranty? It sounds like you have more than one problem. It sounds like you might have some problems with the hydraulics.

Is it definitive build date, after that tops are less prone to break? I read, that from MY2009 to MY2011 are most problematic, but I want to confirm that.
