Damn! I really don't want to have to wrassle the top back on to adjust the shims. You know - like I said though, the doors shut nice with it on. So, I'm thinking if I put it back on to move shims around, it may move again when I take it off...again. Anyone know where I can get shims for the body bushings that are like the fender shims - slotted to the edge so you can slide them in/out without removing the bolt? Maybe I'll have to make some.

Does one shim the radiator support or loosen the front fender? The page from the manual doesn't mention this?
