    No matter how much I play with it, I can't get the passenger side top frame/hook close enough to the windshield to get the sucker latched; the driver's side is OK; any ideas about how to adjust it?

    All help appreciated;

    Thanks!

    How are you adjusting it? There is more to the side to side adjustments than just moving the hooks. There are two front roof rail adjustment bolts on both sides behind the front latches. The front rails are slotted. Try moving them if you haven't. I would recommend getting your hands on a 1969 Fisher Body manual. That will give you very detailed instructions and diagrams to go by.

    Did it ever fit right? Do you leave the top down a lot, like overnight, all week, or all summer? Your top may have shrunken.
