Wondering if anyone is aware of an existing thread about how to adjust the triangle frame and window so that it meets the targa top and seals properly. Searched the threads but couldn't find anything. I gotta believe one of you have done this adjustment already.
Many thanks!
can you send a photo?

There is a targa top adjustment workbook. Dan Pechtel is a good source carsincnj.com or if you pm your email I can send you a PDF

Can you send more photos with the roof off, detailing the seal corners.
And inside the roof.
Some of the things I see are beyond what the targa roof fitting article will detail.

Did you just replace the front seal? the one that goes up the A pillars and over the windshield?

Hey guys .. thanks so much. I will take some photos with the roof off tomorrow. Targa Dan just sent me this top back and I'm working with him to make adjustments .. specifically to adjust the pin in the drivers rear corner. That will pull the top down a little, but I still think the chrome frame needs to be adjusted inwards toward the a pilar a little bit to bring the whole glass in tighter. I also wonder if the regulator can be adjusted to raise the glass a few mm.
I did replace the front seal and the rear side seals about 10 years ago. It's the correct seal.
My old top fit great, but I wanted to replace the headliner and the vinyl top and Dan did an awesome job restoring the whole thing, but the fit on the drivers side will need some fine tuning.
sent you the pdf
