Fixed Roof Adjusments Possible?

[ZeeOhSix]

Some of you may remember that my car has a height mis-match between the front/center section of the rear trunk lid and the rear area of the roof (just behind the rear window). The roof panel sits about 1/8 inch lower than the trunk lid at its worse point. What's strange is that at the left and right front corners of the trunk lid, the height matches perfectly.

Well, I saw this pic in another thread, and was looking at those 3 rectangular pieces with the two bolts on each end. I'm thinking to myself that maybe, just maybe, these could be a way to adjust the height of the roof panel height where I have the mismatch.

Does anyone know what these 3 plates are for? ... I'm thinking they attach the roof section to the main cross beam that you see in the pic.

Anyone have or seen a roof off a FRC that could give me some insight before I dig into this further?

Not sure, but looks like you could be on to something.

I hope 1fastdog sees this, he's really good at understanding this stuff!!

1fastdog or anyone else ... have any idea if these rectangular plates have anything to do with attaching the rear of the roof assy to the car?

I guess I'll pull the trim piece and get a better look. Hopefully, I can adjust the rear edge hieght of the roof assy with these attachment plates (if thats what they are). Hope the rear edge of the roof is not also bonded -- if so, then it maynot move even if these plates are for attaching it.

Maybe somebody who has recently been on the factory tour while taking the museum delivery could shed some light on how the roof is attached during the build process. I would guess that it is bonded, but I could also be waaaay off base too.
However, if it's bolted on..... tops off for the summer guys!!!
