Where do I locate this anchor? The top seems tight everywhere else.

I think what Pedro is referring to is the ball joint cable that you plug from the top to the car. When you open the top up in service position, you should see a small metal cable about 8 or 10" long on each side of the car. This cable keeps the top tight on your car. I don't think it's adjustable as its just a metal cable with connectors on each end.

Coincidentally, I forgot to snap the cables back on the last time I worked on my car. Paid for it dearly when it rained, as a lot of water got into my car. Luckily I caught it right afterward and cleaned it up. Cautionary tale to all! Be sure you snap those cables back on!

Right on the frame of the soft top, towards the pivot point.
Open the soft top about 18 inches and follow the cable down.
You should see where it snapped.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
