Roof, slightly rubbing on tailigh when closing...INPUT PLS!
so out of nowhere my roof when open/CLOSING it slightly rubs on the tailight. Is there an easy way to adjust roof!? car goes in for window/seats etc from vandals on thursday, so i will get them to look at it, but seems odd..just out of the blue to rub....thx

This is not my picture -- I am posting it here for reference:
Unless I'm mistaken, the tabs are the two little grey wedges just above the tail lights. You can see one just to the right of the button that raises the roof to make it easier to pack the trunk.

i get my cr back anyday now from body shop and i will open and be carful(manually budge ove till i fix)
when i got car i noticed a PLUG missing onLEFT side that hls the plastic trim piece in...after i got radar jammers installed, looked like guys(being nice) took one and put it back i for me so piece wouldnt be loose......now im thinkin after seeing yr pc , that maybe its just a bit tight and nudges roor over abit,,,if i remove maybe more play in trim piece not nudgeing roof over....sound reasonalbe?!
are you talking about trim piece that goes along trunk liner then curves up towards cab?. large piece...looks like a left center and right side trim piece, for inner liner(right side has the red button for roof)
