How the heck do you tighten the roof latches once they have become worn. Out of the blue my passenger side front roof latch has started to randomly come undone. The problem is that it goes unnoticed because I rarely put the visor down. This may be causing unnecessary wear and tear on the paited roll bar area underneath the roof. It just started happening and I've caught it early, but this kind of stink just sends me to the moon.
Anyone have this type of problem before? What is the fix without purchasing a new latch or roof? (Although, a new roof would be nice )

It is easy to strip out the threads in the latch at the adjustment...do not over tighted. You can also bend the hook to a tighter radius...

Thanks. I've never adjusted them before so I'll give it a go.
