Default Need help with leaking top!!!

My 93 LX vert just got a new top put on about a month ago. I put the 5 seals in it(header, a pillar and extensions) but I can not get the header and a pillar seals to match up. There is a gap at the top of the window where the a pillar header and window glass all meet and it leaks like no other. I have tried moving the seals back and forth to line up better but nothing is working. Any help would be great I am just about to give up and actually pay someone to fix it.

Has the car ever been in a collision? Sometimes the tops don't align quite right after something like that..

Can you post a pic of the problem area? Are the driver and passenger sides both having the same problem?

Never been a wreck that I know of no major signs of body damage. I don't have any way to take a picture and yes both sides have the same gap. Before the new top and seals there was no gap but it leaked water, now a pretty good sized gap and leaking lots of water.

Have you tried tightening the J hooks to close the top tighter?

The J hooks are really tight I have to push the latches really hard to get it to latch as is. But I will try about anything.
