The hook is threaded and staked with what looks like
an Allen set-screw. Does not appear likely to back
out on its own. You could adjust it by turning it N
times, though.
I think a more likely problem is the bow weatherstrip
having taken a set and no longer giving the hook a
firm resistance to work against.

It's never too late to say 'thanks'. 
It's nice to see such long time 'vert owners like jimmyblue. Sometimes it feels like you are the only one with an F-body 'vert addiction.

Well, I have the white vinyl top, and had to back off the threads many turns since the top got so stiff in the cold weather. It is fine in hot weather. I guess the fabric top guys have it MUCH easier... 
On another note, my damn top is starting to wear at the stress points above each quarter panel and around the passenger top corner of the window -- the piping is starting to come loose. Not looking forward to the top replacement debacle!
