Convertible Top Adjustment

Does anybody have any idea or know of a resource that shows you how to make adjustments to the convertible tops? Mine has a gap and dog ears real bad around the bottom when it is up. I saw a post about adjusting the side rails down some but it doesn't describe how to do this. I tried just pushing them down but they didn't seem to move. Also the passenger side slat for bow#5 hits the Tonneau cover. I think I need to make quite a few adjustments on it to get it right. Any body have thoughts?

The only advice I can offer is when you fold the top into the well, push those "dog ears" down before you cover the top with the tonneau cover. eventually they will bend down and look proper.
So again. once the top is folded into the well, take your hand and push the the edges of the top straight, or if long enough, the will sort of fold under the top.
