Convertible top question
I had a 14 vert and the top closed down on the front window rather gently. I now have a 15 and the top slams down with considerable force. Anyone know how the mechanism can be adjusted? TIA

My 2015 did the same thing slammed shut with a loud thud. Was not aware of any adjustments and did not experience any problems in the 3+years I owned it. My current 2019 closes completely the opposite very quiet.

Actually kind of surprised your 14 did not slam down. My 16 slammed down pretty hard. My 19 is very gentle, so something changed.
But 3 years of a lot and up and down with my 16 slamming down did not seem to cause any problems.
