As Vidterry suggested I placed my left hand on the front outside edge of the top and pressed lightly towards the center of the car. Viola! It works like a charm. The problem was latteral misalignment not fore/aft misalignment.

Thank you Vidterry

Tom...

There is just the slightest bit of flex to the top. On my 2.3, both sides mated up exactly, and minimal force was necessary.

On the ///M Roadster, like in your situation, the passenger side matches just fine, but the driver side would take significant force -- and I mean literally FORCE -- to get closed.

I found that when I get the top closed, and need to latch the driver's side, if I PUSH the handle toward the center of the car...only slight bit of lateral movement needed, the parts mate exactly, and close with no force. Just a little experimenting may help.

Terry
