97 SL soft top questions

Just bought an sl and noticed the outside rear top is rubbing against and putting a dent in the rear plastic windows when down. Also when you first start the top releasing, it sounds like a gunshot when the front releases. Is this normal, or is this adjustable? Sounds like the top is trying to come up before being released??? Any input/info gladly received. Love this thing!!!!

Noise from the front latches (BANG! BANG!) is normal.
Rear windows do tend to get creases. When the weather gets HOT again you can park it with the rear facing the sun (south) with the top up, and try it for a few days and it does help some. Eventually a trim shop can replace the windows. They didn't some up with a solution for this problem until the SLK (MB didn't anyways )
