adjusting convertible top?
I recently had a new top put on my '00... now when I put the top down, when I lift the back of the top and open the boot, the waterfall rubs against the underside of the back of the top. how do I adjust the top to say, move it forward a touch (like, half an inch would do it)?

I've had the same issue on my 2000 vert, and it was hitting slightly although not to the degree of interference you're having. I've never adjusted my top, but found a workaround. When you grip the windshield end and tonneau end to fold them towards each other, you can kind of manipulate the top to miss the cover when you're closing it. It worked for me, but it sounds like yours has a bit more interference than mine. IDK how many miles you have on your car, but I have close to 130,000 miles on mine, and I've opened and closed the top many, many times in the 22 years, with that mileage. Mine is probably wear related. If yours is low mileage, it's probably adjustment related. Wish I could help you more.......
