You have to loosen the 2 screws holding each adjuster,then move it up or down.

Remove the t-top. Where each t-top pin goes when you latch them in place,that is where the adjuster is located. You have to remove tha plastic trim pieces over these two areas to see the screws that hold the adjuster in place, and which you have to loosen to adjust the latching of the t-top. There are four of these adjusters, two per t-top.

Ok this is the job


1 - This t-top has been unlocked and simply put away,
we can see his rear attach point (passenger side).


2 - A rubber moulding is hold in place by two screws
(see white arrows).


3 - Here's a "zoom in" view of the t-top's attach point
(upper section of the moulding). This part of the moulding hide
the hole where fits the t-top's lock system.


4 - The moulding is now removed ( it's on the top).


5 - We can see here the attach point hold in place by
two screws.


6 - This attach point is ajustable. By loosing the screws,
you ill be able to ajust-it. When it's done correctly, tight the
screws (not too much) and do the same on the other side.

I would thank JM350 who has done the translation, cause my english is very too bad
