Default Convertible Top

I have a 69 convertible. My rag top locks properly into the rear locks but I have a gap where the top hits the rear of the door about one inch. Does anyone know how I could adjust this. Thanks for the help.

The top frame needs to be lowered. There are 2 bolts behind each seat back that you can loosen and lower the frame. Are you sure your not missing some weather stripping, if you lower the frame your side windows will need to be adjusted.
