Default Convertible top bow drop down

Hello all, I have a question on something that has been bugging me since I got my Vette last December. I have a base 1990 convertible, it's great, but the convertible top is too far up from the deck when the top is up. I have a picture of it here. Amazingly it doesn't leak but it should sit down farther, if not flush. Now, does anyone know how to adjust this bow to sit down properly. I looked under the deck one day and saw the connection area and it looked like there was some sort of way to adjust it, but I don't know how!! I don't have a manual to help me either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You have to adjust the 2 pin's under the bottom rear. And welcome.
