trunk lid retract

[jhubbell]

I have a 57 and when I convert to convertible every thing works fine but when I switch back to hard top the trunk lid does not come down all the way. I had a loose screw on the black cylinder (Goes all the way through from bottom to top nut on top that the package lid folds up against, to hit the plunger. I tighten it wrench tight and now the trunk lid doesn't go down as far. did i tighten it 2 tight?? if I try it recycle it from trunk lid fully extended and back down 6 or 7 times it finally closes tight. does the cylinder need replaced? if so where and how much???
