Hello everyone I have done the prerequisite search and can find no information on how to adjust my convertible top the passenger side is about 1.5 inches from the windshield when the top is fully up, I can just move the latch on the drivers side and it locks up fine but I have to pull down on the passenger side and it seems as though the center strut is higher on the passenger side. Any help or direction to go for help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again

sometimes it does sometimes it doesent! if i have just done alot of driving and i go to put the top down it just just comes flying down and closes easily, then sometimes the passenger side has to be pushed down from the top because it does what yours does-and it's been raining quite a bit here so i'm always watching the sky, lol- so i got plenty of time to mess with that side, lol.

This may or not help. I bought a 93 convertible rust free. No motor or trans. I removed the interior to clean. I notice on the sides where the rear seat is. Under those side panels. There is slots where bolts can be loosen and adjusted. Maybe that is where yours need adjusting. I am speaking from looking not from experience. Good luck.

I just bought a 1988 2.3 LX Convertible this weekend and had the same issue with the passengers side. It wasn't as high up as yours but it was more of a hassle to get latched than the drivers side. Let me know what you find out!

Thanks,

Craig
