My T top on the passenger side sticks up on the corner (See Pic). How can I adjust this to fit flush?..

Drivers side not as bad.

I have adjusted everything that I can think of...No Better. Its like its hitting on something, I got the star to align with receiver part on top, I adjust the finger points that go into the center beam and have a perfect gap alignment.

I have no idea why it wont close farther!

 

Beyond frustrated!

I'm not sure but if I remember correctly, the plate that the threaded stud with the triangular head on it screws into is adjustable if you loosen the two mounting screws.

If you can push the corner down when you press on it then you can increase the clamping force which is adjustable.
