I have to wonder if your cables are attached too far towards the back and the body is preventing the movement you are looking for. When I go to fix mine I will pull it together and then find a way to keep it there, possibly by welding metal braces behind the upholstery. I have the same problem on my roadster and will someday correct it, but its my belief the problem lies with the open car bodies getting wider at the top over time. I wish someone here would respond with the correct measurement for open cars where the top mounts.
There is no way I would try to push the bottom of the body apart until I was convinced there had been MAJOR body damage in the past. Even then I would be wary of doing it.
