1998 r129 soft top rear lock pins bending.

Replaced bow cylinder and have a problem with rear locks bending at bottom of slot. Straightened them and adjusted to center over opening and cycled several times. Left one bent again, straightened it and installed it and adjusted to center over opening. After several cycles right one bent again. This continued for awhile, straighten and reinstall. After 6 cycles it seems ok but on the next cycle it may do it again. Not sure if it's fixed or what's causing it. I found 2 used pins online and ordered them just in case. Anyone have any ideas what causing it?
