Adjusting tension on a Targa top

My targa top has been getting increasingly hard to fit. Maybe the vinyl has shrinked a little, thereby making the whole assembly somewhat distorted and being very difficult to fully engage the rear pins.

I've been resorting to only locking the rear bar with the top already in place, as it is much easier.

Short of replacing the vinyl (if that's the main cause) what other adjustment can be made to "relieve" the tension ?

Anyone who wants this emailed to them just send me a PM and I will forward it to you as someone so kindly did for e previously. They are scanned pages, not great quality images but legible enough to sort you out.
Cheers,

Bez
