Today my wife and I adjusted the top on our `94 Cab using the threaded forks and we were successful.
The top manual was very helpful (thank you): https://www.968forums.com/Miscfileupload/968CabTop.pdf
The latch rolling cam wasn't sitting in the well on the driver's side and could sometimes be popped out by hand unlike the passenger side which locked in with a thud. The driver's side seems to have been made worse when we made the top manual and loosened the two 19mm bolts. The top was replaced a few years ago by the previous owner and it had not been put down since. We decided manual operation was best.
I did pry down a bit at the latch with the underside trim off as a final adjustment. Removing the rear trim probably took more time than the adjustments. Here are a few pictures of the latch and the threaded fork on the driver's side: https://88blt.blogspot.com/p/968cabtoplatch.html
