Roof tensioning ?

Hi guys, I had a complete roof replaced under warranty a few weeks back on my M roadster (had to take it to the supplying delaer 300 miles away as my local dealer felt it had been damaged through misuse at some point in its life rather than a manufacturing problem :roll: ).

It now seems to be a little loose fitting at the rear `tho. The windscreen end is perfect and "pops" shut better than it did before but the back end feels a little flimsy and I can hear something`s a little loose if I push on the rear window. I`ve spoken to the service manager where the work was done and he seems to think it`ll need tensioning now its had chance to stretch a little and that my local dealer should be able to do it as the warranty claim`s logged on the system now but in truth I`d rather do it myself (and know its been done properly) than take it to the local dealer that I don`t really trust (kerbed wheels and scratches anyone ? :D ).

Is it an easy job ? anyone have a link to a DIY ??
 
I've had the same issue and they replaced both tensioning straps in the hood under warranty. Made a massive difference but my symptoms were the hood slamming shut hard.
