Top Won't Close All the Way After Sagging Repair
I had the issue where my convertible top was separating from the from below the window and I followed this guide to make the repair:
http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/71959-fix-sagging-soft-top-coming-unstuck-rear.html But after putting everything back together the top stops short of the frame. As an experiment I disconnected the tension cables that pull the top up to the clamshell and everything closed correctly, so I guess my tension cables are too tight. Can anyone advise on what adjustments need to be made and how?? I don't think I stretched the top to far in my repair as when it's closed the stitching seam is just under the clamshell.

Mine doesn't go too much further than that on its own. Is it tough to pull it down the rest of the way? I just pull it down a bit, push the latch in to catch and then operate the handle. Mine takes very little force though.

In case anyone stumbles on this thread in the future, the bottom ball is adjustable via a 14mm bolt. I was able to adjust mine to bring the top close enough to close.
