Windshield Frame fit

Hey everyone,
I have a windshield fitment question. I am prefitting all my parts together before priming and noticed the angle of the frame is off. Is this normal and the hardtop or roll bar braces will tighten up the gap? Or is something off?
I don't remember if this was the case when it was tore apart.

They get sprung a little while working on them II think. I places some 1/4 FW along the hinge and then folded the frame up. The washers act like the gasket and keep the spacing relatively close, then I ran some bolts in the windshield hold down and snugged them up. If you are going to run a hard top you will be able to use it to get it perfect.

Yep. You can adjust the drip edge gap to the door frame by sliding the top forward or backward. But that will also change the gap to the top on the rear of the door frame. You will have to play with it and find a happy medium.
