SL600 roof adjustment

The hardtop on my 2004 SL600 appears to be not fully locking down on the drivers side. There is wind noise and a small gap in the gasket where the roof meets the top of the windshield. It looks like there are numerous bolts, nuts that can be adjusted in the mechanism. I need a tighter fit, in other words, it looks like the roof on the driver side needs to "close" a bit more.

Any ideas on which bolts to adjust to solve this problem?

i've had the same problem, it seems to 'lock', but not fully pull tight at the end of the operation. i haven't had any water leak, but you can tell it's not as tight as before.

i've been thinking it is a switch or software issue on mine. almost like it's skipping the last step.

have you disconnected your trunk battery lately by any chance?

still puzzled

Haven't disconnected battery. It's going to MB later this week for them to figure it out. I just don't want to start spinning bolts guessing and hoping.
