I had a new roof fitted recently but now it does not close properly. As can be seen in the photo's the clip does not engage properly and the roof jumps open when I drive over uneven services or close a door. I'm just scared its going to unclip at speed and then .................

you need to adjust the top where the frame is bolted to the body, by the lifts, there are 2 6 mm allen(hex) bolts that you need to loosen on both sides, then close the top making sure it is lined up. Ltach the roof down. Then tighten the 4 bolts. cycle the top and you will find it is fixed. the people who did the top did not reinstall the frame sqaure with the body, so you are off diagonally

I loosened the hex bolts and found that I can close the roof properly when they are loose but after fastening them and open and closing the roof the problem is back.
I took out the bolts and found that I'm missing a few of these washers which will obviously cause the problem. I ordered them from the agents.

The only adjustment I can see is this. Once I have fitted the washers I'll try adjusting it here.

Please do not tell me you were refering to these.

While we're at it how do I fix this? Attached photo's of inside car, the frame is riveted to the body on the sides as you can see. I removed these and tried to push the frame down to close the gap without success.

no if you stick you fingers in the top...behind the speaker, the actual pivot for the b pillar is directly supported by the bracket these go thru,,,they go straight down towards the ground. follow the pillar down to the pivot...they are in front and behind the pillar
