Hardtop clamp
Okay so on my driver side, the clamp for the hardtop is loose. Its not pressured to clamp down the top as the passenger side is. Its just a little loose, can this be fixed? Is there just a screw in there I need to tighten up? Thanks for any suggestions!

Try tightening up the the rear screws first, before closing the front clamps. Position the panel (freedom top) so that the rear screws go in nice & straight, then do the front clamps, followed by the 4 black latches.
I suppose you could wrap some tape around the metal piece the clamps rest on, but then you may end up compressing the rubber seals more than necessary. I would only resort to that if it were leaking water.
