Roof Rails / Rubber Not Meshing Correctly

Hey guys

I just had a new top installed and now there's quite a bit of wind noise coming through the windows the top is up and the windows are rolled up. When I looked more closely, I saw that the front and middle rubber trim pieces on both the left and right sides aren't completely meshing together correctly when the top is closed. I also can see through the very front part where it meets with the windscreen. It's supposed to make a tight continuous seal.

Is there an adjustment that can be made to slightly move the rails/rubber seals a little bit?

Before I had the top replaced, the three rails/rubber seals all meshed perfectly and there was no wind noise coming through.

Any ideas? Thanks!!
 
Sounds to me like the front hooks aren’t quite pulling it down enough. Try using the Allen key in the front to see if you can wind it down tighter

But do not overtighten with the allen key - the locks are operated by rotating bowden cables on each side. And they can break. Don’t ask how I know. :roll:
