Adjusting convertible top?
My wifes 98's top sits to high in the drivers side rear. Is there any way to adjust it down. It also will not sit down in the stored position just perfectly. I am asuming something is bent or out of adjustment. If anyone has a picture of the convertible frame without the canvas on it it would help. Also any tips on which part to look for would be good.
TIA
Jeff
P.S. please PM me with responses. I don't get to check the threads as much as I would like

Very easy to do....but hard to explain. When I get home I will take a picture of the area wher you need to adjust.
Basically if you fold the top forward you will see a threaded rod with two bolts(14mmI think) you turn counterclock wise to lower the back to the car......if yuo go to far this will rub and the paint will be rubbed off....what you should do is put a piece of paperfolded in half under it and make 1/2 turns until the paper is snug.
I will be home in about 2 hours
