New top, window gaps?

So I just bought a new Robbins top, and had it installed by an authorized Robbins dealer. All said and done around $1000, and it's gorgeous.

Only thing is that at the rear of each window, both passenger and drivers side, the window does not form a seal with the window lining (not sure what to call that, trim?)

Anyway im just wondering what I should do. Can this be fixed somewhat painlessly? Should I expect the shop to remedy this? Will it leak if I park in the rain?

I do know for a fact that this gap was not present before I had the top replaced.

The window regulator needs to be adjusted. The regulator can be adjusted in and out by alignment screws and the glass can also be adjusted up and down.

Pull the door panel off and you will see IIRC 3 alignment screws with lock nuts. Loosen the lock nut and turn these to the right to pull the regulator closer to the inside. Since you dont have much of a gap, do slight adjustments and test by closing the door and checking the seal. Once its in the magic spot, tighten the lock nuts back down.
