Default hardtop adjustments

So on the side of the hardtop there is a plastic/metal trim called the 'roof trim', according to the install instructions. I was wondering if any of you know how to adjust this part because at the front most corner where it meets the windshield, it flares out and causes quite a bit of windnoise.

Did you install the 02+ hardtop strikers? I doubt that plastic inner lining is causing that..

Gently pull the weatherstrip from the track. loosen the small screws that hold the weatherstrip track and adjust as needed. Tighten the screws and re-install the waetherstrip.
