I was told that it is best to do some sanity checks, rather than strictly use the dimensions given in the repair manual for the Targa opening, since the car will flex some, but I'm a little concerned that the top isn't snug at all. All of the vital suspension measurements on the bottom of the car are good, so I don't really want to make any adjustments, but I also would like a second set of eyes on my sanity check measurements before I weld everything back up.
Since there's no rear quarter panels, rockers or front fenders to reference, I need to use the windshield and roll bar to check, but I don't see any specs to know what is reasonable. I got the door to be parallel at the the back of the window and at the front of the window frame.
Could someone with a Targa and a scale let me know if anything looks off? Or are there any good, very detailed reference photos that I should know about?
I have 25mm exactly from the back of the window to the roll bar and 9mm +/- 0.25mm from the windshield to the window frame on both sides. Seems like a good sign that it is symmetrical!
I'm leaving for Tokyo for 2 weeks on Sunday, so I have some good contemplation time if I need to figure out how to make some precise adjustments.
