Does anyone know if the top latches for the 94-98 convertibles are adjustable? The one on the driver side isn't pulling the top down all the way and I didn't know if I could just adjust it somehow or if I need to replace the latch. Thanks.

my little latches have thick rubber around them, maybe your rubber is missing?

as far as adjusting them i have no idea

also have no idea what year car we are talking about lol

It's a 96 model. I don't have the rubber thing that you mentioned or at least I don't think I do lol

is the latch loose?

It's kinda hard to say. When I close the top, the top comes down and the posts on each side seat into the frame. When I push the latch shut on the driver side, the hook that grabs the frame and pulls the top down snug doesn't pull it down all the way so the driver's side doesn't fit flush.

Anyone got any ideas?

There is a set screw (hex head) that you need to loosen; then twist the J-hook clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen. Make sure it lines up correctly, then tighten set screw. Hope this helps.

Awesome! I saw that when I was searching around but didn't realize it adjusted the J-hook. I just thought it was there to remove/install the hook. Thanks so much! I thought I was gonna have to come up with $150 for a new friggin latch! Hopefully this will fix it!
