Gen6 Convertible roof question on my 96

After selling my 91 Celica eight years ago and regretting ever since, I picked up a 96 with 33K miles on it last week.

There is a small gap where the roof meets the vehicle at the left side clasp while the right side is nice and snug. The sound of the wind coming in is quite annoying and I don't want any rain to get in. Can someone tell me what I need to do in order to correct this?

Thanks!

Got a pic of what you are talking about? Your description is pretty abstract.

The photos do not show the gap or the sunlight coming through but they do show the plastic part on the left that accepts the hook from the roof is higher than the one on the right. As a result, the roof on the left side doesn't meet the frame snugly. If I can take pictures that better evidence what I'm trying to describe I'll post them tonight.

Left side:



Right side:




Bitter, thanks, I found that site last night and searched back to 2003 without success to see if a similar question had been posed. I'll give it a try here before I try over there.

it looks like someone has already threaded the hook in, try to adjust both hooks to equal lengths.
