Default Mugen Hardtop Fitment Question

Hi, i just bought a Mugen Hardtop and was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the windows touching the hardtop? I can't close my window all the way and want to fix it.

GL with this! I was under the impression that ALL Mugen Hardtops fit perfectly.

The Mugen hardtops fits very well. There's a couple spacers they give you for the mounts and it's a very delicate install so re-adjusting the hardtop may and is sometimes required. That's adjustment made to the bracket mounts that is. I don't mean when you're latching it down or when removing it.

i have the same problem with my driver side. the passenger fits awesome. I actually just adjusted the door a bit. i sat it lower haha.. u dont wanna know how. but it seems to work.. first try adjusting the top properly tho.. if u need more room.. PM me. It may not be the greatest way to do things but it gets it done.

Mine, fit perfectly out of the box. I made a guess on the spacers for the behind the seat brackets and so far it has been right on..no window issues, creaking issues, had expert analysts like Tom (socals) and Dave (casterdog) to make it a perfect install. Could not have done it without these two S2000 geniuses.
