There are adjusters inside the door. One is accessible from the inside, the other is in the front and accessed from the bottom of the door. You will see a rubber grommet that you have to remove.

I would remove and re-install the top. The two rubbers are not coming together properly.

If its a coup check to make sure when the last time you put your top back on you didnt pinch the weatherstripping near the top of the window on the door it happens if you dont close it just right

thanks for the info! but for some reason i already learned that one the hard way! i ended up leaving a big gap on the pass. side one day, and it started to rain, and my friend wanted to know why he could stick his fingers out the window when it was all the way up!

everything seems to be fitting together the way its supposed to, as far as my eye can tell. just a slight wind noise. ill just wait till its warm again so i dont have to have the windows up!
