Convertible top adjustment

Is there an adjustment on the convertible top frame to make it slide forward more? The passenger side needs to go about half an inch forward to latch correctly. Rigth now the latch just catches the edge, so when I hit a bump at speeds over 70mph, it pops open. Is there anything in the GM service manual about convertible tops? I just want to get a heads up before I start taking apart my baby. Thanks.

Yes. My 90 Helms manual describes how to adjust it. Section 10-8-7. I can scan and e-mail it to you if you need it. Lon
