Default Soft top not closing right.

Well on the freeway, even at 55mph I get a very loud wind sound.. I looked at the top and I noticed that one side is nice and tightly flushed but the driver side is up a little bit..
Here are some pictures LARGE pictures so you can see what im talking about..
(This picture is the passenger side, see how it is nice and tight in place)


(This picture shows how it starts to rise going across to the drivers side)


(These pictures shows the drivers side see how it is raised up, and you can see that it is pulled close the metal and almost touching it, its just elevated up..)




So how can I adjust this....

what year is your car? some of the early s2k's had a tsb concerning the windshield molding... and it looks like this applies to you. i am not sure though. you can read more about it here.

i don't know if this will help your soft top issue, but it may help.

I can't even fit this onto 2 monitor setup that I have.

Latch the top closed and then hit the top down button for just a second so that it pulls the top tight and locks it down.

Well, it looked to me like both the top and the rubber seal had free electrons in their outermost shells. If you look carefully at the photos, you can see that the free electrons in the mating surfaces are the problem as like charges repel.
