I'll have to check into what those bolts are for and how to tighten them.
Hi,

Those are not Bolts. They are the Base (PN# 986 514 251 01) for the Centering Journals (PN# 986 514 253 01) for the Metal Tonneau which raises/lowers, when you operate the Soft Top. They are not necessarily supposed to be tightened down as these provide some of the Height adjustment to the Tonneau so that it matches flush with the rest of the sheetmetal surrounding it when closed. It would have absolutely nothing to do with symptoms you describe in your initial post. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
