If you still need help, I'm free tommorow evening from 6:30 to about 10:30.
Where about's do you live?
The way I put my hardtop on is I first make sure the back portion of the Hardtop is on properly. The back latches are in the FORWARD position. Then I match up the front end. Once everything is in place, I push the latches BACK towards the rear window and then I proceed to lock up the front.

This is the metal piece they bolt to the car that the male pins lock into right?
If so I'm thinking that the bolts have loosed and are backing out.
I suspect you have to pull part of the rear interior panels out to get to those bolts to tighten them up again, but I'm not sure. I wish I had my manual with me so I could look.
If the brackets have come loose thanks for the heads up. I have to put my HT on this weekend because I have a school next weekend.
What ever you do Nimesh, keep posting what you know/learn about this in this thread, thanks!
