HELP! Z4 Roof Adjustment???

I just replaced the roof of My 2006 Z4 with a aftermarket Sierra roof. It went on well and all mounting holes lined up perfectly. But now the locating pins on the front edge are about 1/8" shy of going into the locating holes above the wind shield. Is there an adjustment for this forward motion of the roof? Thank You

We got it to close by moving the entire rear aluminum bow that wraps around the rear deck lid. We moved this bow about 1/2" forward, with spacers between it and the rear deck. Roof closed fine. It is still a work in progress that we will take up again in the spring.....Thanks for the reply!
