The gap is noticeably larger with the top open. It is smaller than when I first installed the top, but it is still not optimal. I am beginning to wonder if my top transmission cables need adjustment or replacement. There is no gap on the passenger side with either the top open or closed.



I have other things to take care of on the car, and this has taken a bit of a "back burner."

If you open the top without the rear shelf and carpet does the clamshell gap go away?
