hello all,

we removed our pop-top to paint and put on new seals and new tent.  it's
now all re-assembled, but the top won't shut.  we've tried making
adjustments to the bolts in the back that attach to the lid on the side
and have some lee-way, but still no luck.  we also tried adjusting the
rear brackets that hold the pop-top to the van, but that didn't help,
either.

i figure with the new seal and new tent, there might be some stiffness
in closing the top that wasn't there before, but at this point, while it
closes to within an inch of two of latching, it will not latch.  the
only thing i haven't tried, is asking my 300 lb son to climb up there
and jump up and down.

any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,
thom
