When I swapped out my '01 top for the '03 with glass rear window, there was a little bit of play on the 6 frame mounting bolts down by the clamshell. Figure out which way it needs to move, get a second set of hands, and loosen the 6 bolts on both sides. Pull/push the top and maintain force in that direction while your helper tightens down the bolts again.

My initial install left a slight gap on the drivers side window weatherstripping, but is perfect after realignment.
