I have only used the hard top on the Tiger a few times in the many years
I've owned it, so i decided to try it for a while this spring.  I can get
the 4 latches to latch without much issue, but it never seemed to fit
completely right  My son and I fiddled with it for a bit, but there are
still some issues:

The door windows do not go up far enough, leaving a gap.  And the top of
the fixed door windows also leaves a gap to the hard top

Those chrome things on the top of the door post seem to be at the wrong
angle to match up with the top.  It doesn't look like their angle can be
adjusted, and I had replaced the  pads that go on the top, but they only
touch the chrome things at the front.

I know the previous owner did some body work, replacing the rear fenders,
etc, So I'm not sure if this is another of the issues he created.  Or are
they all like that?

Looks like the rear pins that fit in the hinges might need to be lossened an=
d slid upwards so the top can drop.  Possibly the front clips too.=20
