Default Convertible top problem - Picture included

Hey guys, got a problem with my 95 GT vert. The car had a new convertible top on it when I bought it from the dude and the top needs to be adjusted somehow. The windows close on the top with the windows all the way up.The front and center support bows are not adjustable and the rear bow is adjusted all the way up. Both the driver and the passenger side is like this.

Is there another way I can fix this???

Aww guys...lol, come on, you're busting bawls! Seriously, there has got to be a way to adjust that up without damaging the liner.

How about adjusting the windows to fit the top?

that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? How would I seal the window then from element?

Seriously guys, anybody work on one of these before??

i would venture to say that that is the incorrect top on the frame..........i just did mine on my 89 and there is NO WAY to mess it up that bad!!!!!! it would have to be pulled too tight front to rear, and too far around the side. the way i see it you have 2 options.....
1: install a new top
2: buy a remote window/ alarm system to roll it up after you exit the car.
it does not look bad though, if that helps.....................

It looks like it has come loose in the front/back or has stretched and needs to be tightened.
