Default C5 window air leak

New c5 convertible to me. I’ve read the window tipping adjustment, but don’t see anything about front to back.

Seems like the window is leaking on the rear vertical weatherstrip. Seems like the window need to me moved towards the rear of the car. Is there such an adjustment or is something wrong with the weatherstripping. ?

You may need to adjust the top also

Do this seems to be more top alignment than window alignment?

It appears the passenger side b pillar is not far enough forward for the glass to seal correctly. Does this involve the 3 bolts that mount the top or the tie rod style adjustment? The top seals fine to the tonneau.
