TTops Not Even, What do I do?
I recently redid the weatherstripping on the TTops and noticed that at the back of the center crossbeam, the left side was raised higher than the right side by about a 1/4 inch. It looks like the rivet on the left side has raised up. How do I get both sides level again. I don't want to ruin the weatherstripping I just replaced, so I'm looking for help from anyone that has done this before.
thanks, Bob

Where the tabs on the t-tops hook into the crossbar there are shims underneath them. Remove the plastic caps and loosen the bolts to remove a shim from the t-top to lower it.

I'd give it some time to see if the weatherstrip compreses before adjustng anything.
To adjust the height, the tongue that fits into the center bar has shims under it. You get at these by removing a couple of cover screws to access the tongue. If I remember right, the tongue has a couple of screws holding it to the top. You'll find the shims under this. It may take a couple of tries to get the height where you want it, but it's an easy job.
