Default T Top pics-need help with proper fit !!!

I have a 77 late year production.... alarm switch in door, carpeted console and the late version of the T Tops ....
Here is the fit so far...

Driver's side is too high

Same

Here it has a good fit around the corner, but stops making contact to the right of the alignment tab...

and this doesn't look right at all in the right hand corner!!!

I finally see that I lost the adjuster pin in the latch, but that don't explain the right rear loosing contact or the bulge here (left front)!!!

It's never going to fit right. The T-Tops warp over time and no amount of adjustment is going to get it right. Every couple of months I get a "maybe if I try THIS" idea, it never works.
