72 Convertable Top Adjustment???

Good day. I recently had a new top and seals put on my 72. I'm not happy with the way the rear quarter glass seals. Looks like the top framework needs to pushed forward about 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Anybody know how to fine tune this?

Welcome to the site!

Sounds like you have a gap at the top rear of the windows and the top is hard to latch? If so, you have the same issue as I do. Best thing to do would be to talk to the shop that did it.
Their reasoning may be "well it will stretch a little in the sun and then fit just right!"
My top was installed 3 years ago and I am still waiting...
After the top is tacked on and the fabric is tight, I have found no adjustments were possible without removing staples and retacking and such. I have learned to live with it.
If I am wrong, i hope to hear about the solution!
