I tried as suggested but did not get the same results. Any other method recommended?

Nope. ;)

Did you loosen the screws on both sides so that the windshield would move on each side? There is a bit of play in there to do this and it should be enough to fix the problem.

When I unsnapped the cover today to re-try your suggestion, low and behold it was closed! Although still a little tight but at least I can close it and put my bow cover on properly.

Thanks for the help.

Mine was the same way. without the snap top bimini it closes fine, with the bimini on it pulls it down so it doesnt fit just right,

Did mine before the big 4th...
Had to take out all the screws from front opening, around to the vent window.
It had to go out as well as over.
I would suggest a piolt hole before screwing it down, I stripped a couple of screws before I did it.

yes, definitely worth a little drill bit. I still have too much tension though. may have to move other side too.

I believe that was my suggestion (do BOTH sides) in post #12.

Only moved the starboard side on mine, it was enough and not noticable.
