[TR] TR3 sidescreen frames adjustment

[TERRY SMITH]

How exactly DO you adjust these?  My passenger side screen is wide at the top by about 2 inches.  Unfortunately the sidescreen was finished while I was in mid restoration, so I don't want to carve into the material to adjust the sticks.  I almost never put the top up anyway, but it would be nice to have it right.  Thoughts?
