the hook latches at the windshield are the only adjustable part.
if its not sealing the windows properly, you need new seals, or the windows dont come up all the way.

if your really that far off, you better go over your work again. something isn't right.

when you put the top up, it should fall right onto the windows, then the windshield latches secure it all the way around.

I would think the shop that installed the parts would have taken care of something like that as part of the install.

It may help solve your problem or it may not.... but either way I highly recommend this manual. You'd be suprised at how many different adjustment possibilities and procedures there are in this book and the procedures are very well written
