You might find it helpful to uncock the joint on each side of the 
bowframe a bit while you fasten the top front and rear.  Then as your 
last step push that joint into it's "upright and locked position".  I 
think this is actually the method described in the TR4 manual, but also 
helps on the TR3.

Alternately, you might leave the bow that's just above the rear window 
unattached to the webbing.  This allows it to move forward until 
everything is fastened, then it can be pushed back into position to 
tension the top.
