[Tigers] Flipping Out!

Hello Sunbeamers:
I just had metal repairs and a re-paint done to my hard top. All the 
rust is gone and it looks brand new. That was an expensive exercise but 
worth it as I use it most of the time.

I also replaced the side plastic "flipper windows". The old ones had 
cracks spreading out from that round metal piece that fits on the 
outside of the window. It connects to the open/close latch that attaches 
to the hardtop body inside.

The latches pull the windows too tight against the hardtop body. In 
other words, in closing them all the way, the plastic windows are forced 
to curve inward a bit, straining the plastic and eventually causing the 
cracks around that round part in the window.

I can't figure out how to adjust the latches so the windows close snugly 
but not too snug. Has anyone done this and can offer advice on what I 
should do?

Thanks as usual.
Steve Sage
