The weatherstrip came with it. It was peel and stick and believe it or not it was straight when I first installed it. I think the constant latching and unlatching made it gradually move out. The passenger side looks pretty much the same.

Hummmm. Well this isnt promising. I had the supertop NX (non twill) before this one and it fit perfectly. Sounds like the header wasnt molded correctly. Mine is so loud that I have to yell to talk to my passenger. And I have a road trip planned so not looking good here

I haven't checked but maybe the footman loop has some play in it. Try loosening it and pulling it lower. You could always elongate the top of the bolt hole in the loop and drop it lower as well. Just a thought.

You would have to remove it and use a drill or a file to make the bolt holes bigger (just at the top) so you could push it down a little and tighten.

Like this, where the black is the stock hole and the red is how you made it bigger.
