Very detailed and informative. Have made two of those adjustments on drivers side, but wasn't aware of others. Thanks. I'm copying all 13 pages while I type! JR

As described in the link i posted. Adjusting the knurled **** may help, as would adjusting the rear pressure link bars. Adjusting the window tip in etc may help. Beyond that, its probably dealer time for a new top.

Thanks Shawn. I'm on my computer at work and can see it now. I think I need to change the settings on my computer at home since it is loading the old web page before the change. I'm working on getting my EASE program straighten out and will get the LTFT's done Friday if the weather is good.

Default Convertible top issue

I have a 2007 Z51 convertible. The waterfall won't completely close when attempting to raise or lower the top. Consequently the top only half closes and when in the down position there is a gap in the waterfall. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Charlie
