Default Adjusting release hooks '99 z28
Does anyone know how to adjust the release joins that hold the top down? One feels tighter than the other....

Its been a while since I've looked at this, but I believe the "hooks" are threaded into the latch and a jam-nut is used to lock it in place. Loosen the jam-nut and spin the hood to adjust. Tighten the jam nut after adjustment is complete.
