Targa Top
Does anyone know how can I adjust the rear latch of the roof.
I've both roofs the body color and the transparent one, the body color closes perfectly but the transparent latch feels loose when I lock it.
TIA

My friend Google suggested this, from a C7 forum, that might work. If one top fits and the other doesn't it makes sense to see about adjusting that rear latch:
A. Remove top and set it on something to protect the paint.
B. Look at the rear latch assembly and you see a small "silver" colored HOLE in the face of the latch. That's actually a very small HEX nut.
C. Locate the appropriate size HEX Allen wrench.
D. Loosen the HEX nut, I discovered I had to back it almost all the way out, until it was flush with the surface of the latch face itself. I didn't want to go much further for fear of it falling out and loosing it.
E. Initially I needed a big pliers to turn the latch (you'll see it's threaded) and turn in one full turn (it's really the only turn that makes sense).
F. Reseat the HEX nut and reinstall the roof.
