Had a reoccurence of the issue that started this thread. Fixed myself this time. Important to note that the fix is not to try and push the plastic strip back onto the frame (red arrow), the fix is to slide the plastic strip away from the center (green arrow). Have a feeling I'll be doing this every couple of months.

I would reiterate that a properly working top is nearly silent, and if there is a brushing noise when the clamshell moves away from the body and rejoins it, then you should go back there and see why.
