I narrowed down which roof would suit my van by carefully checking the capabilities rather than the looks. But then I wanted some specific features.
Good ventilation, very high roof rack loading, capable of being raised with a reasonable load on the roof bars and good headroom inside with a Reimo Variotech seat fitted.
Rear seat height is quite important, some of the rock and roll beds that fit to VW rails are very high and can leave your feet dangling whiel your head is hitting the roof bed.
I went with Jerba in the end. The best feature for me is the Ventile fabric roof canvas which means there is very little condensation. It also has proper scottish midge proof screens.

You could have a go at attaching something similar with self adhesive Velcro before committing with stitching.
A simpler option would be a detachable bungee cord between the two sides.
Save yourself some hassle and time and by a role of bungee cord. Put roof up and run a length around outside the middle of the roof and tighten it up. Pull the roof down and the sides will pull the sides in. You may need to do this a few times to get tension right. There are also pre-made ones to buy, but silly money.
