Is this what you have? Looks like the two mounting points to the body have some adjustability. Have you loosened those and pushed them all the way back and down?

Mine looks like that except there is a third hole for another bolt to the frame. The way I installed it was bolting it onto the hardtop first then to the car frame. When I did it the other way the hardtop holes would not line up.

It seems like the hardtop mold itself is off because my drivers side is super tight, while the passenger kind of hovers above. Plus my latches don't even catch or pull any kind of tension to the hardtop which is supposed to pull it snug to the window frame, if i am correct??

99sh can you send me pictures of your windows and the top of your hardtop where the window frame is on both sides? maybe even the inside bolt setup would be great.

If i were you i would go ahead and put all the seals on and try and get it to fit perfectly before you paint it. If it doesn't fit, send it back. If it does take the seals off paint it and buy new seals. I had a hell of a time getting my VIS Mugen to fit right. Its not perfect that is for sure.
