More Targa Issues

My Targa top doesn't fit well at the edges. What this means is in the middle the vinyl tucks flush with the windshield frame nicely, but toward the outer edges the vinyl is forced up over the front frame, and is about a quarter of an inch forward of the rear targa bar. an idea on if this is adjustable?

Kinda in the same position. There are a few adjustments, but they have not worked for me yet. I have put another roof on my car and it fit perfectly. My roof has not been dropped to my knowledge. I have not been able to solve this problem...

Yeah, the donor roof was perfect. My roof was recovered and I think that that is when the problem started. There are three allen screws at the back of the roof on each side. This adjusts the back pins up or down. My left rear is bad and after readjusting the left rear pin, the result is the same - rides high. I have a manual on the roof, but have not been able to open the pdf (it is a large file and my laptop can't hanlde it)....

My roof was recently recovered too. mine rides pushed forward though, not high. If you can email the pdf file that would be great. I'd like to have a look at it. jonnysocko@mac.com

Will do. My top also rides forward in the middle. Can't really help there.
