A tolerance compensator for a vehicle frame includes a base member having an upper portion in keyed engagement with a roof structure. The tolerance compensator also has an extension member that is threadably coupled with a lower portion of the base member. A fastener extends up from a body-side structure to threadably engage and move the extension member down into contact with the body-side structure before threadably engaging the base member.
