    Top adjustment

    The back part of my top directly behind the rear window is not coming down far enough to seal off the car. I have seen the shim adjustments under the top lid and fiddles with them, but it seems like that doesn't adjust the side left to right at all. seems like the driver side is fitted correctly, but the passenger side is not. Any help would be appreciated. I've looked it up multiple times and have came up with no good results.

    There is an adjustment screw where the two pieces of the frame meet that pivot when the back of the top is raised to access the boot cover. It can be adjusted from the back seat when the top is up. It raises and lowers the back seal location when the top is in the up position.

    Tough to describe in words. Try to figure it out and if you can't, I will post a pic.

      I could use a picture. Just for a reference before i start adjusting bolts. Thanks, much appreciation.

        Sorry this took a while. Here is the pic with an arrow pointing to the adjuster. Unless it's been lost over the years, there will be a plastic cap that needs to be removed to access the adjustment screw.
