Default Any Way To Tweak The Top Seal

While washinng my car today I noticed that there was a slight gap in the seal between the windshield and the top on the left side of the car. I was wondering if there was an adjustment on the top latches that allows you to tighten the top seal.

I don't know of any adjustments but what I do is cut a 1/2" long piece of black vaccum tubing and slide that over the "claw" that clamps down the roof. Works like a charm but you have to replace the tube about once every two weeks because they wear out. Vaccum tubing is cheap so other than the fact that you have to fool with it, it's a pretty decent, non-permanent solution.

Works for me.

I tried the tube thing, but kept poping off or sliding past the point where the hook meets the mount.
