Default T-top Adjustments?

Great weather in Chicago today, took the vette out for the first time in 2002! Reminded me of something I meant to correct in the fall- my T-tops sit at different heights. I know there are some shims at the attaching points of the center roof support, but has anyone ever come across a formula for adjusting these things so that all attaching points line up AND cause the tops to sit at a proper height and alignment? Any "how to" articles in past issues of Corvete Fever or other magazines?

If you look in the AIM it gives all the alignment measurements for the gap between the tops and the gap to the rear roof line.

In order to adjust the height, you need to remove the inner headliner. You might have to use shims to raise or lower the middle edge.
