Your top needs to be adjusted. You can find the procedure in the factory service manual or there are a few threads here that probably link to it.
The easiest way is adjusting the bolts you can see when you open the flaps that cover the mechanism when the top is down. This moves the entire top back slightly but has the drawback of also moving your pins that secure the top so if you move them so the glass clears the door you will probably have trouble closing the top. The procedure has a more in depth process when that is the case.
