Default T-top help

Why doesn't my T-top fit? Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know a fix?

As you should be able to see, it fits perfectly on the outside, but doesn't at all from the inside

It doesn't leak or anything, it just sounds and looks like it is going to fly off!!

Thanks!!

Man that really sucks. That's one of the many reasons subframe connectors should be done FIRST!

I'd try adjusting it...

Take the 2 screws out of the rear trim piece cover and the bracket is held by 2 13mm bolts I believe...

you can move it forward/backwards and shim it up and(maybe down) to adjust it right. May not be anysort of body flex just a misaligned t-top. They were made to be moved around since no 2 cars were going to be 100% identical.

Mustang eater is correct they are very easy to realign. My car just ended up having the 2 bolts a little loose one time, I just removed the plastic piece and realigned the bracket fixed everything
