Soft Window Upper Frame fits wrong and leaks...

Hey guys,

I just bought a new soft window upper for my 1997 TJ. I put it in the 3 holes and it goes in well. However, when seated all the way down, it is still angled towards the front and leaves the rear window weather stripping seal not in contact with the plastic frame. It leaks horribly. Had this problem with the previous upper, which is why I replaced it. The passenger side fits perfectly.

Solutions? Bend the frame? Is there any other way to adjust things?

My YJ did the same thing, put the metal tines between 2 2x4s in a vice and pull it inboard. Don't do it in the door as you will break the lil plastic recievers it fits into.
