63 Signet soft top

Just checking with you convertible blokes.
I have a '63 Signet with the vinyl top.
It's not the factory original (I think), I'd say it's a replacement.
But I am surprised that there are so many gaps around the quarter windows, I don' wash it with the top up for fear of it filling with water.
I understand the gaps around the glass are alignment, but has my top shrunk, maybe???

Also, when the top is down it sticks up a lot higher than the bodywork of the car. Sort of looks as though it is too big to fit in the cavity for the top to fold down into. I have a sales brochure and the car on that has a top boot that seems quite close to the bodywork height, whereas mine sticks out. Looks like a set of ribs on a skinny sheila!!!!:vom:

Any comments please?
