Still haven't figured out exactly what to adjust to get the front portion of the top to line up better with the second section when it's closed. The tension cables didn't make a difference, nor did loosening the 6 bolts and putting some pressure on the frame. I'm sure the key to this is figuring out why the front weatherstrip isn't aligning with the strip attached to the b-pillar.
Do any of you have lateral, side-to-side, play with the top? I seem to remember it being nice and tight (firm) before I removed it. Now its kinda of loose and has a couple inches of play at the front when its in service position.
I'm going to check the tension cable that attaches at the b-pillars tonight, to see if it is broken, etc. I'm not really sure how that effects the fit, but worth a try. I'm thinking that it helps control some of the side-to-side shifting of the top, but not positive.
If the tension cable is intact, then I'll be pulling off the front/side weatherstripping to see how the windows and top fit without it. I suppose there is a possibility that it wasn't installed correctly when they put the top back on and could be causing some binding issues.

A side question:
What's the easiest way to install the rubber into the rail on the side of the top? Lube and push it into the channel? None of the DYI write-ups details the re-installation of it.
