I did not mean to delete those pics, I will try again. However you said the wedge is what sets the gaps if so would it be correct to assume that the other three positions should be loosened first? Second I still can not get that !%%##$#$^#$^ side to sit down and its driving me nuts. It does not appear to be the seal although I plan on replacing them. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi V,
It certainly looks to me as the though the the panel needs to go down and toward the center.
I'd start by taking the 2 tongues out, the front outer pin off, and the wedge off... this should tell you whether they or something else is causing the panel to sit up and out as the picture shows.
If you can get the panel to sit where it should you can then begin to add the tongues etc. one at a time while maintaining the desired panel position.
Again, good luck!
Regards,
Alan
Remember this lock can and does pull that corner of the panel down as you lock it, but it doesn't, and can't move the panel in.

Excellent info for the adjustments of the tops, Thanks Alan.
I have spent way to much time trying to adjust them with poor results.
Will try again with this info and pics.
