Default misfitting t-top

My drivers side t-top doesn't sit flush on the front outer corner.
This is what I believe allows the roof to leak slightly, so is there an adjustment for this?
thanks

One thing you could check: the piece with the hole in it for the latch from the t-top to slide into. If you remove the plastic trim piece, behind it is a metal piece with a hole to accept the metal rod that extends out of the t-top. There is a bolt holding it in, and it can be adjusted. I read on another thread that some people had problems with that part getting out of place and the t-top would not latch properly.

Thank you, I know the piece you're referring to so I'll check it out.

Twisted car??

Aside from the plastic peice that the t-top rod fits into, check the gasket, is it torn or moved around.
