T-Tops
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this problem, my rightside T-Top is not lined up properly from the back. What I found mostly on the forum search was for the sides of the T-Top, not the back portion alignment. I have provided a picture, hopefully this helps my explanation.

Hi j,
The four mounting points for the top do control the front to back position too.
The outer rear position is controlled by the tri-angle screw/pin in the body halo. Turning that screw/pin in and out moves the top panel backward and forward. The front outer pin needs to be loose when you do this.
I have everything loose, and set the top for center and rear gaps. Tighten the 2 outer points, and then check for 'height'.
I then move the screw/pin up and down with the 2 plate screws. Then I set the center height by shimming the 2 center 'tongues'.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
PS: Whoops... my explaination was for solid early roof panels... don't know about later glass panels.

Latch receiver on the halo panel will move down a little. It might be stubborn since there can be factory sealant under it. Loosen, but do not remove, the screws. Reposition. Check fit. Tighten it up. Front latch might need a tweak once you have the rear corner down.
The AIM has a diagram of the receivers being installed and a note about correct latch,
