<VV> LM convetable top adjustments

[jimster1]

It sounds to me that the gear boxes that actuate the top are not in sync.
I'd dig down to the drive motor and disconnect both drive cables from the
motor.  Then I chuck each one in turn into my cordless drill and run it back
and forth to find the max down position on each side.  Reconnect the drive
cables to the motor and give it a whirl.  I bet the side that was lagging
will feel much happier now.

Time to tap into the combined wisdom and experience of V V. 
I have a 65 Corsa convertible, with power top. The top will not close 100%.
The arms above the door windows are not fully extended. I have to pull the
top to the windshield frame to get one side latched and then the other side
will latch easily, BUT those arms are still not fully straight. I have to be
careful when I close the doors or I might chip the glass where the point of
those rails is. 
How can this be adjusted? I've looked through the manuals,but I might have
missed this.
Any suggestions?
Ralph
