Any pdf docs or web links?

Goldy, piss esy to do mate,
If you look inside where the frame is, past the rear windows, you'll see a black round gromey on the rear part of the frame anout half way up adjacent to the rear screen, pop that out and its an Allen key fitting in there.
WD40 it and either loosen it or tighten it mate and it adjusts the rear of the frame.

just ried what you mentioned Rav, although it works I still have a gap!!

the gap is all the way accross the horse shoe, must be the spacers where the roof bolts onto the car??

will have a look at the links imy send over..

Could be your frame sitting at the wrong height at the back.
Is it a new roof??
