adjusting a C5 convertible top
Good Morning!
I am new to the forum and was hoping someone could help me find the article/directions on adjusting a C5 convertible top. The passenger window closes over the back corner of the top. I have to close the door first, then roll up the window. Could someone please help me get a copy of this article so I can correct the problem? I would appreciate it very much. Thanks and have a great day!

just my 2 cents worth, but it isn't the top (more than likely) that is the problem it is the window angle which is adjustable to insure a snug, watertight fit. just a suggestion, but try to search for window adjustment here on the forum. one of the "give aways" is to take a look at your drivers side door with the window up (door open), then do the same with the passenger side and see if it is obvious that they "lean" differently. if i remember correctly the adjustment you can make will cause the window to "tilt" more or less to better fit against the weather strip. again, i believe that is ore your problem than the top being mis adjusted. (at least it has been on my 04 convertible)
