Default 73 T-Top Roof Panel Alignment

Help... I have a 73 and need help aligning the T-Tops. The only adjustment I see is the small triangle stike pin by the rear edge of the door window. Unfortunately, this adjusts the top in the wrong direction. Pics are fuzzy, but I'm sure you'll see the change in the gap size. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi RD,
Here are the other adjustment points that I'm aware of.
The pin in the front/outer corner and the 2 'tongues' on the center of the panels. The pictures are of the 'receivers' for these 3 points.
Regards,
Alan

Alan, do you have more pics of the winshield trim and trim were the t-tops meet. I am currently replacing the steel birdcage across the front of the winshield, I have it in but I am not sure how everything marries up. Please forgive me for stepping in on this thread.

Thanks Alan. Didn't think to take the inner part of the T-top (skin) off, which exposed the pin bolts. A word to others, there are 2 screws, 1 on each long side of the panel, that should be removed before carefully prying the skin apart. Final adjusting will take a few tries, but hopefully will be successful.
