OE hard top query

I have the 1969 roadster with OE hard top. When my side windows are cranked up, there is an appreciable gap between the trailing edge of the window and the hard top's corresponding fuzzy seal. Certainly enough to allow rain to enter the cockpit while driving or at rest. Moreover, there is a smaller gap remaining between the window top edges and the hard top's corresponding seals.

Is this the case with others who own the OE hard tops?

Another quirk of the brand or an individual problem?
 
Been sitting out in the sun...remove the side windows & go down to nearest glass shop - they're just Lexan...can have a set up pretty cheaply...installation is easy, a few screws
 
I'm referring to the car windows, not the hard top windows.
 
well, I can't say for sure on the OEM hardtops, but my after market hard top has the same gaps around the driver's door window. The passenger side on mine is fine though. I suspect there might be some misalignment with my driver's door, or the chassis around my driver's door might be sagging a little.

Either way, I think I'd check to make sure the doors are properly aligned within their respective sills. In the case of chassis sag, I have no idea where to begin to check for that.
