Fixing Bent Top (trapped cat followup)

I was hunting a lost cat, and ended up partly dismantling my 2006 Boxster S to be positive she wasn't inside. I found some YouTube videos about doing that, and they were pretty good, but none mentioned that the amount you open the top to access those panels is critical. So, naturally, I opened it too far, and in tilting the window forward, I seem to have bent something because now it has great difficulty closing, and the sensor doesn't recognize that the top is closed and latched. I did get the car back together with no left over parts, so there is that.

I considered taking it to either of the two places I've taken it before to have the top worked on, (one dealer, one local guy), but truthfully, neither of them did a particularly great job.

So, do you convertible top experts have any advice on adjusting a top that is already on the car, and mostly working?
