Top fix

How do you tighten the J hook at the rear of the top? I did a search and couldn't find what I thought was the proper answer.

There’s a set screw you need to loosen. Then just turn the hook to tighten or loosen. Retighten the set screw when done.

Just be sure to make small adjustments at a time - you do not want to get the latch to where it tightens the top down too much.

You will need a 5/64" Allen wrench for the setscrew. Looking at the hook end, turn it clockwise one turn to tighten and try it. Then tighten the setscrew.

"Just be sure to make small adjustments at a time" Though that makes perfect since, unfortunately it must be adjusted in one full-turn increments.
