ouch. looks like it isnt popping up when it closes. can you push it up and pop it into place? I think you may need a new frame for it. I have no idea if you can get it adjusted. A ford dealer would know. Have you called them about it?

If your top goes all the way to the top without hesitating and is just uneven on one side it will require a linkage adjustment. Just reply if that is the case and I will e-mail you pictures and instructions on how to adjust, it looks to me like it may need a b-hinge adjustment. Hope this helps you.

Tighten the lock nut.
