No, apples and oranges.

I was talking about the soft doors flapping.

I always run with the fan on because it is a soft top and I don't like
exhaust smell. This inflates my soft top nicely so it doesn't flap.

There are two bars on each side that pivot on the roll bar bracket. The one
that needs to be tweaked is the one that goes across the rear windows at
about a 45 degree angle. Just gently bend that bar (might need a helper, and
it won't need much) and it should tighten up the top.

If it's still under warranty, take it to your dealer, that's probably what
they will do.
