I feel like the top band bracket of this air hinge is way out of alignment. I know how to adjust the tension, but how do I adjust the alignment? I need to pull the top band closer to the bottom band. It’s mis-aligned to the extent that I can’t get the stock spring retainer block into place to be able to block the hinge to be able to remove and re-align the dome (which is what prompted this in the first place; re-aligning the dome to make the seal better).
I tried to loosen the nuts on the top band, then loosen the tension nut all the way, and then pull the bolt attached to the adjustment nuts down using a smaller spring retainer block, but that didn’t seem to move the top bracket at all.
Am I on the right track here or is there a different way that I should approach this?
