Roof out of alignment

Hi I just installed new strikers it’s easy but the latch matches the drivers side but the passenger side is too far towards the driver’s side, I need to pull it across to get it in there and latching this side is very tight but drivers is almost lose. I have tried loosening the latches and strikers a bit but it’s still not right. I have also tried the rubber screws that you can adjust when the top is down (when the roof is down reach inside the brushes and you will feel the roof limit screws) Help would be great cause it’s a bit difficult at the moment. I will try and get photos as its hard to explain.

Are you sure you're adjusting those limit scews correctly? when I was adjusting my roof after installing a new one, I thought I remembered having to remove the plastic panels that cover those screws to fully adust them while the top is closed

wat is this limit screw u guys are talking about??? i cant seem to find any info on it

^^ Thank U!

They're annoying little things to adjust with, but it's the only way you can get the latches to marry up with where they're meant to be. Don't bother trying to adjust the latches, I tried that and failed since they're fixed into one spot. You'd be surprised how much these screws can make a difference!

Thanks. I will try removing the plastic coverings ect behind the seat to see if I can adjust with the roof up, that would make it easier than putting the roof up and down 100 times trying to get it right. PS that made my battery go flat hahaha

so can i just clear this up.... this screw adjustment is to bring the top closer to the windscreen before you clip the latches? the problem im having is that even though ive put the roof up as far as it will go, i still have to physically pull it an extra 3 to 4 cms before i can latch it down to the strikers

does this screw fix this?
thanks again

Yep, so long as the rest of the fitment is correct!

^^ champ . thank you!

Did it work?

haaha havent gotten around to it yet--- lol too lazy

Lol. Shouldn't take you more than 45mins

quick question. when i drive， alot of wind comes in from the gap. would this fix it?

Yep I had the same issue

Do I adjust it towards striker or away from the striker? My latches feels very loose at the moment

You'd wanna get it towards the striker. See point 4 in the attached manual extract

do you guys have any photos of this? ive been searching s2ki and the web and cant find any more detail pics.

sorry for the noob question.

thanks guys

like a write up of the process.........

i feel so noobish
hahahaha

^^ thank u for the swift reply!!!
much much appreicated. will attempt on the weekend

No worries, good luck

Question, can you adjust where the roof hinges from? Eg the motors screwed to the body? Cause not sure these little screws are going to take my roof 2-3 cm to the passenger side of my car. I have reduces the reach on the passenger side and increase the reach on the drivers side and the roof still needs to go towards the passenger side.

I dont think so, dont those hinges haev big flange bolts?

Fixed! Make sure you pull the trim off to adjust these limit bolts its so much easier! You can see what’s going on, I loosened the roof motor bolts too until i got it right then tightened it all up again (don’t think it made any difference but so much better. Thanks guys!
