Default 2008 xk8 rear window issue

When i raise the soft top on my xk8, the rear window rolls up but as a slight gap at the top, the gap is big enough that i can see into the vehicle when i look in at an angle. I thought maybe it was the passenger door window issue, but no play there. The small rear window has some play to it, and the only way i can get it to seal is to use my hands to push it over for a tight seal. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

i posted as 2008, actually a 2006. Brain fart

This might sound like a lot, but it's not so much and, ya may not have a choice. The rear seat and the backrest are not so hard to get out - especially with the top down. From there, that covering in the corner with the speaker cover is also pretty straight forward to remove. I think your going to have to get in there and have a look see. Maybe something just camme ah loose...?

Before doing this wait for some others to offer some ideas. Maybe this is something that is just a one two thing that can be done with a screwdriver and a jack hammer... I dunno.
