The first couple times I used the boot when I got the car I had that issue. Since then I stop the lowering the top at about a half foot before the down position and tuck the forward fold in to add an extra fold. Then the boot front flap seems to sit well down in the hole. I can't recall it ballooning up much if ever since. (It is still the factory original boot.)

Also, I have one repro clip that won't snap on. I'll be replacing it as soon as I put the top down for the summer. Thankfully, that may be soon. We had our first 70 degree day yesterday, six months to the day from the last time it crossed 70.
