Default Convertible top adjustment.

I read somewhere a while back about an adjustment to get the top to sit tighter on the rear deck.
I did a search and still couldn't fine it.
Any one remember where that thread is?

The spot I am asking about is where the arrow is pointing.
That side seems higher off the deck than the right side, but the right side could stand a little adjustment as well.

Thanks in advance.

Bob.

Do you have the upgraded rear seal on that convertible top? I did that on my 2001, and there was a good amount of wear on the fiberglass. Upgraded seal is a definite improvement.

No, I have the original one.

Did the adjustment today, and the big gap is now history.
