Default 91 convertible top adjustment?

Hello, bought my 91 last July. Have not had it out much at night but noticed a gap under the rear area passnegers corner between the top and body. Saw headlights from another car behind me. Can this be adjusted down or tightened up a bit?
Thanks. Drew

Pretty simple to do if you are talking about the back corner of the top. Raise the rear of the top up and loosen the locking nut on the stud that locks the top down and screw it in a little at a time until it latches down tight. If your top hasn't rubbed through your paint on the deck lid, yet you may want to think about getting some of the plastic static cling protectors that keep the top from rubbing. You can get them at Corvette Central. http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....rt~A2~cadefibF
