I'm not sure I can help a lot more...but here are two more thoughts

If you disconnect the tension cables from their balls and close the top, do the frame pieces get closer together and close the gaps. If so, then the following picture shows how to adjust the cable tension



If that doesn't work, perhaps you can slide the B-pillar gasket in its track. I've never done it and I don't know if it can be done. The gasket costs a small fortune (over $600) so be really careful. Here's a picture that may help.



Perhaps someone who has replaced their top would know far better than me on how to help further.

That was what i was thinking of doing, but doesn't the Cable only effect the "B pillar"

I just had a Little brainstorm and id did a check off the alignment of the seals.
And the B pillar seal has moved!
So with a gentle touched i removed it, gave it a good Clean. When it was loose one could see that there is a bit o play.
So Before i remounted the seal i gave it a Little bit of oil.

No it sits Perfectly, but where is the rain?!
I also have a bunch of towels where the water traveled Before so with a Little bit of luck!!!!

Btw, Thanks Guys!

*edit*
i didn't loose the screws in the bottom.
