Aligning the top to close properly

[honda_nos]

Guys,

I installed my Robbins Glass Top about 3 months ago on my 99TIP. Thanks to Maurice's help, I was able to get the top on no problem (after 10 hrs :)).. So now my problem is the following. I know that there are two 10mm screws that I can loosen to adjust the length of the arms off the transmission. But after hours of aligning, I can't seem to get boths front striker "striking" into the front windsheild "receivers" at the same time.

I seem to be able to get one side then the other and I am trying to adjust in small increments... One side always ends up too high to strike. Is there a procedure for this? Also, the adjustment doesn't seem linear, by that I mean, it isn't like lengthening the arm will aim the striker lower, there seems to be a magic point in which lengthening the arm will bring the striker higher again...

Thanks, honda_nos

For small adjustments you turn the plastic joint on the end of the push rod.

Thanks tool pants, sorry, do you have a picture or a diagram of which push rod you are referring too?

Ok, so i saw in the other thread what it looks like. But I am still not sure if this will help me get the top properly aligned. I've moved the actual push rod from longest to shortest and a lot of different places in between...
