Default Targa top is coming loose

My targa top is coming loose on the passenger rear corner. Gotta leave the car in the garage till I get this sorted. DOn't want to become a FRC member!! I called Rick at the Sunroof Doctor and they don't produce the tops anymore. I've called a somewhat local body shop that has been recommended because of the Corvette work they've done. I haven't the tools or time to fix it myself.

* Just got a call from the shop. They say they've done a lot of the tops over the years. I'll see how it goes.

Replaced my old cracked top with one rom Melrose last spring. Was at my door a few days after ordering, and they gave me a couple hundred bucks when I shipped them the old roof.

What part is coming "loose"? The solid panel/lens from the frame or the targa top bolt? If it's the bolt, you could try a new one in case the current one is worn.

Top panel coming loose from the frame. Bolts are tight just right.
