Convertible top calibration?
I was told maybe there was a convertible top calibration to try to reset my top on my 99 XK8?
I did a search and couldn't find it.
The top goes up and down, but does not latch correctly when closed, per my other thread.
Thanks!

I have not seen your other thread so not sure this relates. Is your latch misaligned or just failing to operate? If the latter, this may be of value.
On the "other" forum, there was a recent post by JagDoctor:
To reset the system, press the top switch and lower the quarter windows.
Open the valve on the trunk, counterclockwise.
Release the top latch with the allen wrench.
push the top cylinder pistons back and down until they go over center, about 2 inches.
Lower the top completely by hand.
Close the top latch with the allen wrench.
Close the pump valve and press the top up switch.
It should go up and latch. If it doesn't, there is a permanent problem
A later poster said it fixed his problem.
