The brackets for the bolts are slotted.

I replaced all 7 hydraulic cylinders through Top Hydraulics. Guaranteed for life. Great company! This case cover lock (it’s heavy) was installed by me and I just let it hang down when I bolted it back on. Turns out the tonneau cover would not lock. It looked closed but was not locked down. This prevented the top from coming down, opening up. If I put the top down manually, the top would cycle completely up as factory.

By the way I’m doing this with the car running to avoid any electrical drain on the battery.

I hope my experience helps you.

Thanks for the reply, this is exactly what I was hoping for. I took a closer look and sure enough the latch mechanism is slotted so I could easily adjust it up a few millimeters. That made all the difference and I am now able to latch it tight. Thank you!
