Hello, Having trouble installing the convertible top frame. It is sitting to forward on the passenger side. Any help here knowing how to adjust this or is the specific measurement for this?

Thanks for any help,
Gregg

Here is a thread that contains a link to a very detailed PDF file that pretty much covers everything to do with a 68' convertible top:

it must not be uncommon to shim the frame to the rear of the car in order to get the pins to engage the receiver

There is more than one place for adjustment on the convertible top ,the aluminum header can be adjusted forward or back ,the main pivot is also an adjustable area ,it is a cam bolt with an allen head stud ,it not only adjust the front forward and back but also adjust the bow of the sides to fit to the door glass . If the top is not installed and just trying to fit the frame you will find it will fit different when the new top is installed and will have to be adjusted again more than likely
