Alright...so there still is detail work to do, before bringing it to the paint shop!
I noticed, that the side windows lift the roof when fully closed, just 1mm but noticeable, on both sides without the rubber seal. Sanding might do the trick.
I loosely put the trunk lid into place to see if the weight pushes the TOP a little more down.
Left side yes...with sanding and adjustments i might get a properly leveled gap.
Right side NOPE. It still sits 2mm too high, so the gap is not properly leveled. Anyone ran into the same problem while installing the Z-Top? Hints are welcome
If I can't fix it, I gonna let the paint/body shop guys try their luck

It starts to shape up

LOL...the paint shop guys keep any kind of "body work" besides the paint job on a long arm away from them. They are not even "touching" the rubber sealing. I guess they really don't like to work with fiberglass. Even the paint job sounds like a very special and long procedure

LOL...they are not impressed by the used primer, as it chips off too easily and will cause more problems than joy later on, so I decided to get it properly re-done by them.
I hope to have it ready before winter
