ttop questions

i know that this is probably in a million posts but i am going to through it out there anyways

when i bought my formula, it had lexan ttops, and the lady said they leaked like crazy, come to find out they didnt' and she was out of her mind, but they were all stress fractured and i was sick of seeing them, so i decided to get glass ones, here is my problem

i dont know if they just dont sit down as far as the lexan ones or what, but i am getting a TON of wind coming in from the front, and there are spaces between the top of the windsheild frame and the ttops, that wasn't there with thte lexan ones

so here is my question, is there anyway to adjust them so they fit tighter or make them less windy ?

many people will probaly say to replace the seals going around them, but the seals are pretty new and are not worn out at all, and i do not believe they are the origonal, i believe they were replaced when the car was painted. i am basically saying the seals are good, i just didn't know if there was anyway of adjusting the ttops so they fit better, and have less wind, because i can only assume if they have all the wind in that they would leak when it is raining out, but i have not drivin it in the rain yet, beacuse i don't want to find out the hard way

any help would be appreciated, i have included a picture of what ia m talking about and the spaces

if u remove the A and B pillar trim on each side of the car, the latching plates for the tops are behind them, and can be adjusted up/down accordinly
