My top on my 2004 C70 works fine except I have to get out and push it into the boot about 2 or 3 inches so the lid will close. Where is there an adjustment?

Mine makes a bonging sound and closes the windows to signify it has completed folding or closing.

Mine worked fine until 2 weeks ago. I put a new top on last Aug. One of the bows doesn't clear the lip on the opening for the trunk. The hard lid won't close all the way. If I just push the roof down lightly, it clears the lip and everything then works perfectly. I need to make the roof retract for about 2 more seconds before the cover starts to come down

I was going to suggest a trip to the dealers to get the roof sequence checked and possibly a re sequence. However if the hood frame is physically catching I am not sure that will help.

Was it ok before the new hood. Is the new hood too tight ?
