Had a shop replace the convertible top.  It looks like there is a gap between the driver and passenger windows top edge and the top. Aprox 3/4 inch gap. The windows are at the full up against the stops. so my guess its the top that is out of adjustment.  Anybody have this problem before? Adjustment ?

I think the top needs to be adjusted. If I am not mistaking, the top can be adjusted in many ways. A good shop will not only replace the top, but also make all the adjustments. But that ofcourse will add man hours and therefore cost.

Also, the top maker makes a huge difference in the way the top fits the frame.
