T Top Weatherstripping- Driver side is shorter?

I broke down and bought another set of tops for my car- primarily for the weatherstripping on the tops, and it never hurts to have spares.

I was hopeful that on the driver's side gap between the window, B pillar, and top would be filled in finally. It was not. I got out my handy dandy tape measure, and the weatherstripping on the driver's side t top is about 1-1-5" shorter than the same piece on the passenger t top.

That being said, am I missing a piece from my body, my t top, or is shrinkage not just an issue for us males when in cold water but also F Bodies and weatherstripping?
