Convertible "clamshell" adjustment

[releese78]

I just noticed something kind of odd, either it just changed or I'm getting blind in my old age.

On the driver side of my car, with the convertible top up, the clamshell sticks up about 1/4" inch higher than it should and about an 1/8" inch lower than flush on the passenger side. I noticed this in my side view mirrors, so it's mostly towards the front points. I inspected for any obstruction and checked the "adjustable" top cables, all are ok. Anyone have suggestions?

Don't look at it anymore?

There are 3 adjustment places for the height of the clamshell.

Here is the most common one, a wedge adjuster on each side, near where the seat belts attach to the roll bar. You need to have the clamshell raised to see them.

If that is not it then I need to see a picture.

there are two little cables that go from behind the back window to either side of the engine cover. these are the cables that you undo to flip the back window up and expose the motor hatch. are yours in tact? if one or more is broken or out of adjustment (they are adjustable), they won't pull down the back of the window enough and it will prevent the clamshell from closing all the way.

I checked and adjusted the cables, both are quite tight. What are the other adjusters? What do those little "click" pieces do? I've moved them all around and didnt see any change. The shell is still higher on the driver side. Also, you said there are 3 adjustment points, what's the third? Thanks.

And the female socket for this.
