Whilst looking at those linked threads, I noticed there is an old bulletin "54 03 02 CONVERTIBLE TOP WILL NOT LATCH IN STOWED POSITION ".
It was mentioned that this bulletin shows how to move the roof fore-aft a little . Does anyone have a copy of that bulletin please ?

I also found a list of bulletins here:
