I can’t seem to find a definitive answer to which part of the weatherstripping I am missing. The photo shows a gap between the outside edges of the glass lower weatherstrip to the hardtop. It is the same on both sides. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Thanks for all who looked at the thread. In case you too have this issue I now have the answer!

After a small bit of Horse Soldier 🥃, I began to contemplate. Just before I hurt myself thinking, I noticed the upper weatherstrip wasn’t pulled down to the tub completely. Either it shrank or was installed carelessly. So I heated it a bit and stretched both sides down. Problem solved.

That's how I remembered it, but I didn't want to comment till I looked at mine.
Then I forgot. :rolleyes:
Glad you figured it out.
 
My back window rattles when I hit bumps and I have added weatherstripping trying to take up slack when tailgate is closed over it. I have ridden in back and held glass with wife driving and by holding window tight against body rattle stops. Not a big deal, just aggravating.
