Two ways -

1) quick but a bit of a fiddle - The two allen key bolts on rear edge of roof will tighten - I put a dab of loctite on mine. You can't get an allen key on straight, but enough to do the job.

Otherwise, 2) flip the black plastic cap off whichever hinge is loose on the outside of the window glass. Unbolt allen bolt underneath (goes through the glass into the hinge). Hinge can then be dropped down giving perfect access to rear edge roof bolt in 1). Refit with a squige of black mastic to refit the plastic cap
