Default 77 T-Top Adjustment
Hi,

What is the best way to lower the female side of the t top inserts on the t bar on the car so I can drop them a bit to get a tighter fit of my tops?
I see that I have to remove the trim, but how much must come off? I see light coming in through the new weather stripping. I am sure that water is coming in there, if light is.

Thanks
Jack
