Convertible top frame adjustment

Not sure if I'm in the right category, I have disassembled, painted, and rebuilt the conv. top frame on my 67 Cutlass. Bolts and bushings were all ok and reusable, lubed and put back where they came from. New cables and latch hooks. Top goes up and down well. Waiting for the sun visor mounts which are the other half of the top latch assy. My question is are there any adjustments or things I should be aware of before I turn this loose on the upholstery shop or would a good shop do the final adjustments? Would appreciate anything anyone has run into in the past. Thanks.

If "IF" you know what you're doing [I DON'T] there are adjustments. I would let someone with experience do it. Every time you move "A" , " B" ,"C" and "D: get out of whack

IMHO it's more of an art than a science

I took mine apart for cleaning, painting, and fabricating a couple peices and after I put it back together no adjustments were necessary.

67 Cutlass conv frame

It's mostly good, center bow hangs up when opening. Little to no side to side adjustment. Took lots of pictures and have a 65 Skylark for reference.
