That is the correct fitment.Curious myself since mine sits exactly like the one pictured
2 different gaskets
Ah! I see what you two are talking about. The gasket on the blue Jeep doesn't stick out as far, but the tops on all of them are nearly flush with the windshield frame.That's what I see.
I'd eyeballed that area myself. The one in the first pic sits further forward than the other three. That probably isn't helping matters, but I believe they are right with the small seal idea.In the first pic, look at the point where the windshield frame, door frame, and top all meet. If those corners all line up with each other and looks reasonably symmetrical, you're all good.
It's nice to see my pics being used for good.Well damn. So the top should be resting on the edge of the seal like that?' I've never not had a leaky hardtop, so this topic always has me curious.
Of all the quirky things with Jeeps, the hardtops drive me nuts the most.
So, here's a close-up of that top, in the first post.

And here's a picture of mine, along with two others.

Man, I saved every one you sent! They definitely have been.It's nice to see my pics being used for good.
As noted, gaskets vary. How it fits relative to the gasket is not what is important. The windshield frame, doors, and hard top are all adjustable. You want them to seal and not look wholly terrible. Front of window frame roughly parallel to windshield frame as long as that doesn't produce a gap elsewhere that leaks. Hardtop forward or back to get the front edge to seal at gasket and not produce too large of a gap at the back of the door. Then that has to be checked to make sure that doesn't interrupt the lift gate seal at the top of the tailgate. Parallel across top of door to hard top as long as that doesn't screw up the door fit in the opening in the tub.That is strange... Mine doesn't leak either. Going to trust what mrblaine says though
