Targa top fix
I've was given a solid targa top. I tried to install it but I couldn't get the front to latchs to latch when I had the back latch engaged. It seems like the frame is twisted or bent. Is there any adjustments for these tops? Any suggestions to correct this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Front latches act on adjustable bars on inside of windshield header - may have to remove trim
Front latches on roof can be adjusted - you have to remove a small plastic square in each lever to get to one of the set screws
Rear hook can be adjusted, it's threaded, but you must release a small grub screw with an Allen key first and relock when all set right.
I believe it is also possible to adjust the rear sockets for side-to side adjustment.

PS lock front levers first, then adjust rear hook.

It will take some time and adjusting to get a top to fit. I only had to adjust the fronts a bit and the rear latch is easy to extend or shorten.
