Hello all,

I noticed that the hard top glass on the passenger side glass move about an 1/8' but not on the driver side. is there any adjustments I can make to make the glass fit snug? I constantly get water when it rains from the tailgate area and found that the glass seal does not fit properly on the passenger side as well, probably need a new glass seal? added a few pics. anyone have this issue as well?

You definitely need a new seal, no question about it.

I had to get a new one myself, and I did a crap ton of research on this. Oddly enough, you can't get the entire seal from the dealer.

The only person I found who sells them is the guy on eBay:

I ordered one and it fit perfect and was of course, brand new. After that, no more leakage problems!
 
Thanks Chris, just need to figure out why the hatch glass moves passenger side

Check the hinges that hold it on to the hard top. Make sure all the bolts are tight and aren't wiggling around. That would be my guess as to the culprit.

Also, my rear glass is a little caddy wompus as well. The passenger side sticks out about 1/8 inch, maybe a bit more. It's because of the glass mounting brackets up top. I just need to adjust them.
 
Found some rubber weather strip at work and used it on the glass seal and when the hatch closes now the glass is held tight, no more play and its much quieter in the cab, lol
