Default Hard top panel alignment issue?

The front edges (at the windshield) of my hard top panels do not line up. They are off by at least 1/8". I haven't seen any rain yet, so don't know if I have any leaks...so this may not be a big deal. I tried leaving them loose and trying to adjust them to line up, but the pin in the roll-bar does not allow enough movement to bring them in line.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks,
Mike W.

I am not sure what to tell you about that. I would definitely bring that back to the stealership and have them look at it. I am trying to figure out how they could be mis aligned at all much less that much.

I can;t believe that made it through the pre delivery inspection. I can almost guarantee that that will leak when it rains.

Yeah:

That blows for sure. But on the bright side, it SHOULD be a warranty issue. They might just have to re-do the seals or something. It shouldn't be a monumental problem.

Something's wrong with that puppy.
Are the bolt knobs going up through the sound bar snug/oversnug/nut inserts broken by the incompetent?
There's something wrong /broken there cause it's definately not a quality control issue.
I'd say someone playing with your toys before you got it.

Thanks guys... I'll take it in and see what they say.

I think maybe the pin that goes into the roll bar in the wrong place. Nothing broken. If I could just move it forward a bit, I think it would fit fine.
