convt/side window leaks/gaps

The side windows are tight against the top's sides at the top and bottom of the windows, but their is a small gap extending about the middle third of where the windows touch the sides of the top. Any solutions?

I'm not sure what you're asking or advising on, is it supposed to hit or slide into the top and there's a hole?

@invinciblejets MOST do lol. But there are a few of us with verts that dont leak. Its just like finding a car with the original window sticker from the dealership, doesn't happen often but It does happen.

i had one that had the punch card from the factory in it!

there is actually a pretty detailed section in the FSM about adjusting the windows on the vert, FSM is here Foxed.ca - Mazda RX-7 Manuals

If it's the "Mazda Certified" sticker some dealers put on their used cars after they come in I'm not impressed. Could have been put there last year.
