Default T tops adjustment

Helloooo Vetters,
I hope eveyone had a pleasant and safe cruisin season. I know I did and hate to see it end. Ok so now for my question. Is there a way to adjust the rear of the t tops where it mounts into the mounting bracket. To make it sit more flush with the rear of the the roof line? The right side seems to be worse. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

On my 78 those 2 screws that hold the receiver bracket can be loosened and the whole assembly can be repositioned then retightened. Be aware that you may have to realign your door glass afterwards

Thank you Radovette. I figured if I could drop the top a bit. I might have to adjust the window somehow.
