Default Hard top fit woes

Anybody have an issue fitting a hardtop? Got a matching, beautiful one from Ebay and when I went to mount it, I found the drivers side not a fit. The rear window channel was bent(i guess). I had to tweak it till it fit.

I've not had that issue with mine. What type of mount do you have - Bayonet or Screw mount? I know that the bayonet mount allows for some adjustment. I'm not sure about the screw mount.

Doesn't look like it is seated properly. Of course, no telling the history of it.

I'm gonna say screw. I finally tweaked it in place. Still gotta get the trim right.(don't we all)

Hi all,

Same issue for me not able to adjust the hardtop rightly. I see the screen in the car - there is space between he roof and the interior. I saw in the tech docs that we can adjust the position but I have no idea how to do this - manipulating the nut but they didn't move
