Hey, the quarter windows and the weather striping on the top don't meet. I have tried to raise the window, but with no luck at closing the gap. Do I have the wrong windows in? How do I fix this?

It sounds like your top is installed wrong just like mine .I can put my finger in mine with the windows up on both sides .

It takes some working to get them to fit, and it's a compromise.

Mine always had a small gap in the corner.

You could try tipping the window forward (lowering the front). That sometimes worked for me.. YOu may also need to adjust the way the top sits on top of the windows. I think there's a screw up there somewhere - check your Fisher manual. It's been a while I can't remember exacltly and my top is folded up in a corner of the garage at the other house, but it's a stop screw that controls the flatness of the top. You turn it one way or other until the top matches the top of the windows. I think you adjust the windows first and then the top, but you probably have to go back and forth like with sheet metal.

Did you have a new top installed or did you just install some new quarter glass? Some more information is needed here on what has been done.

When I had my top installed my original top fit perfect to the windows .It didnt leak anywhere and there was very little wind noise . The old top just looked bad from all the years of use. The new top never did seal right and I kept meaning to take it back and have it adjusted but was too busy driving it to do so. I will use a different shop next time as I have heard of a good shop in Murfrreesboro that does good work.
