2001 996 Cabriolet - top's tension cables out of channels

I need some advice regarding the cables on my convertible top. I bought the 996 several years ago and the top looked like it was recently redone. But the cables consistency started coming out of the channel in the rear window panel when I put the top back up. Please see in these pics of both sides.

Then, just recently, the cables started coming out of the channel or panel that is above my front windows. It is odd. Because both sides started doing it at the same time. So it doesn't seem like it is a stretched cable since it would be highly unlikely they would both stretch as the same time.

Does anyone have any advice regarding adjustments that I may be able to make to help with the issue? The top open and closes perfectly fine other than the cable misalignment.

Thanks in advance for your time.
