Default Targa top fit(s!)

I just replaced all of my weatherstripping and cannot get my targa top to seat. I thought it would be tough since the foam in new and not packed down, but I am not even close. Any suggestions, tips, video links, etc?
Thanks in advance.

Did you buy some cheap stuff from Amazon or eBay?

Thanks anyway, I found the solution. And it had nothing to do with where I bought it!

Sorry, my solution was to keep pressing down until I was able to get the screws to bite. I also watched a video on youtube about adjusting the top which helped some, but not much. It took me 3 days total and some sore wrists and elbows.
I did the same job on my Camaro and Porsche in the past, but this was much harder!

I replaced mine over 5 years ago and it's been a problem to install ever since. Always have to pull down to get the bolts to screw in. Wasn't like that new
