Default Hardtop missing bit?

Just fitted the hardtop to my s2k, and noticed something doesn't quite look right. These two "stoppers" at the rear aren't actually touching anything. Am I missing another part of the hardtop fitting kit?

(Should be in modifications & parts forum)
They're to keep the soft top from lifting/bouncing & wearing a hole. You might want to also keep the latches and any metal parts from contacting the soft top with some pieces of foam.
p.s. use a good conditioner on the top before 'storing' it. tint rear window to keep the sun off.

they look normal to me. You can actually bend those plates if you want closer contact with the softop, but I don't see the need, your clearance looks good enough. I had a lot more clearance on my setup so I did bend my plates downwards to close up the gap and less chance of noise over bumps.

My cats just love hair bobbles. I've got tons of them around my place, lol.
