I've had my Mustang for three years and the top has progressively become more out of line each year. Now it is to the point where I can only latch one side and it leaks like mad. What can I do to fix this?

I've been calling around shows in town, but no one around here knows anything about convertable tops... they all say they can take a look, but haven't delt with this sort of thing before.

Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, words of hope? It's a beautiful summer day but the Mustang still sits stored and uninssurred until I can fix this (I don't have a garage so I can't leave it out in the rain as it is).

Check out Hydro-e-lectric, they have a great manual on how adjust the CONVERTIBLE top:
