Convertible hatch adjustment

[crause]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to adjust the pop up hatch where the convertible top folds back. Mine sticks up a little too much in the back. The is no adjustment to lower the height, if i wanted to raise it I could shim it where it connects to the hinges. I know that it should be even with the back deck of the car but the only thing I can think of is bending the hinges and that sounds risky.

Andy,
Not sure if your 75 is like my 68 but there is a place for shims that should adjust the read deck lid height. I will e-mail to your address........

Try this........shim #8 may control the deck height.......

Try putting a shim or two under just the front bolt. That might tilt the lid downward somewhat, and "flatten" it in relationship to the rear deck. Check your weatherstrip too. Some replacement products are too thick and/or too stiff and won't compress.

That being said, I've seen MANY that don't fit too well. Chuck
