Gap between windows on 2017 convertable
I am trying to purchase a 2017 convertable Ecoboost. In both cars that I test drove, these was a gap between the front window and the rear window. I could slide my finger up and down in between where the front and rear windows should touch. I do not want to buy a car with an obvious defect. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it an easy fix? And is this a recurrent problem that I will have to fix time and time again? Please help, any input is appreciated.

On my 2017 premium convertible if you are outside the car with the doors closed there is about a small finger distance between the front and rear windows. It is seated properly on the window seals and you do not want any glass to glass contact.

As 7 UP Mustang said, there should be no glass to glass contact, but there should be glass to seal contact. If not, you will have a water leak. I picked up a 2016 GT convertible last November. A records search at my local Ford dealer showed it had only one warranty repair, an adjustment to the right rear window. So far, so good on the water leaks. I imagine it would be a relatively easy adjustment.

Tip on closing the gap with no silicone or grease
I recently uploaded a 5min YT video on the topic of this issue. I showed a different way how to close the rear window and that is with its top operation. However, in case the tip doesn’t help, then you may need an alignment.
