Need help with cab top alignment
I had to have the right main bow replaced in my top last year and its not lining up properly on the right side anymore. I have a slight gap (~ 1/8 - 1/4") on the right side at the windshield frame--there's a lot more wind noise and its leaking a bit at roof, windshield cowl, and side vent window frame. I also need to replace the seals but I'm holding off until I get the roof aligned properly. Does anyone know how to adjust the roof frame?
Here's a shot of the right side with the gap:  Here's the left side, snugged up properly, and a view across the top of the windshield:  Please help! Thanks, David

I am no expert and it took me several trys to get it close are you sure you got the same year part replaced and did you do it or did you have it done if you had it done go back to who did it and have them adjust it because it is a real tedious pain in the a$$
