    Default Testing the hardtop...

    Seeing the impending rain coming...i decided to put the hardtop on...haven't done that since before installing the Frankenstein bolts...after putting it on, i realized there are gaps in the front corners, and one of the side latches, doesn't seen like its aligning correctly, any recommendations?

    Washers under the header striker plates. Loosen them and move them around until the top is snug, mark them, them add washers and tighten. Repeat until it actually works.

    Aren't the latches adjustable to pull it up tighter to the header? IIRC, there's a small plastic cover that you flip back, and you'll see the adjuster (while the latch is open).

    Rear Frankenbolt attachements are adjustable too. Remove the screw on the side and rotate the cover. 12mm (?) to adjust the sliding plate that touches the frankenbolt.
