Just an update on it. I got it back from the mechanic and he's told me that the right side is out of alignment because several parts may be slightly bent. This may be due to something that had happened when the top had originally broken down due to one of the cables snapping. I had inadvertantly tried raising the top where one side would raise and the other didn't. I may have caused the damage and misalignment then.

He's managed to remove most of the ability of the clamshell to wiggle when the top is down, however when it is up, the right side still has a bit of play. I have adjusted the hexagonal stopper on the right hand side so that the clamshell pretty much lowers to the same level on the right to match the left however you can still wiggle it once it is down. Therefore I don't think it's an alignment issue but another part which holds the clamshell rigid when it is closed.

Thanks for the suggestion about the pushrod. I think that may help.
