Default convertible top question

My deck lid (?) hits the window when putting the top up and down. Is this normal? I never paid attention or noticed it until today. I was putting it down, and saw/heard it. I then put it up and down about 5 times, and it hit both going up and down each time.

putting top down, the top pops up, to allow the deck lid to open. As the deck lid is coming up it thumps the window, then the rest of the operation is normal. Same thing in reverse when going back down.

Its as if the top isn't going far enough to get out of the way. Does that make sense?
