Are they not lifting off or is the front center latch not turning? Sorry, just trying to understand to see if I can help.

What size is the fastener inside the sun visor clip?I was able to fix this myself.
1. Loosen the Windshield Header Trim Panel, by removing the sun visor clip, start with the driver's side, as this was the only one I had to adjust, because once this was fixed, the passenger side didn't have the same problem.
You can gently pull down the header trim, right to the left of the upper center console (where the map lights/aux switches, etc. are). To expose the TP30 bolts of the front striker plate, where it attaches to the windshield header.
2. Loosen these bolts (do not remove the bolts). Once loosened try to remove the panel. You should be able to remove it at this point, you'll notice that this striker pin is not smooth, but has a lip going around the bottom.
3. Tighten the striker plate bolts, but don't over tighten, they should only be tightened to 15lb - ft. On my particular vehicle these were over tightened at the factory which misaligned the striker plate.
4. Push header trim panel back in place and re-install the sun visor clips.
So you have no frame of reference here, Donny. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know...What size is the fastener inside the sun visor clip?

How did it do in the rain? Iām having this problem on my Anderson hardtop, first time trying to take it offI wanted to update this with my notes.
This is on my 2023.
Sunvisor clip screw was T15.
Roof panel bolts were T50.
Otherwise the instructions were spot on.
You can see from the level how they were sitting. The driver side didnāt need touched. It was the passenger side that was a pain.
I loosened the bolts and put the panel back on and latched it. Then I tighten the bolts. I took the panel on and off a few times to confirm.
In the end I didnāt have to move it much. But it comes off so much easier. Need to wait to see how it does in the rain. Being Oregon it wonāt take long for that.
It wouldn't be surprising if the brackets need adjusting for the aftermarket top.How did it do in the rain? Iām having this problem on my Anderson hardtop, first time trying to take it off
Glad you donāt have any leaks! Iām getting nervous because the installer said they adjusted it as much as they could. And the threaded insert location might not be made to close enough specsIt wouldn't be surprising if the brackets need adjusting for the aftermarket top.
Never had an issue with leaking.
