Subject:      Readjusting poptop after installation
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I just repainted the poptop on my 82 Westy, installed new stainless
hardware and seals. It looks great, but after reattaching the top to
the supports in front and hinges in the back, the latch doesn't really
align anymore, the back left is sitting on the roof panel and the back
right is raised about 1.5" above the roof panel. I'm assuming there is
an adjustment procedure to get it aligned again, but none of the holes
in the back hinges or front supports seem to be the kind where you can
slide the bolt around to adjust where it is tightened. Am I missing
something? I didn't take anything else off. The Bentley doesn't seem
to cover this, it makes it seem more straight forward. Any tips are
appreciated.


Pete
