    I think it's totally normal. Mine has them too. I think the little "brushes" are supposed to block that out, but mine looks just like yours.

        I took the rubber seal off my spare top frame and am planning to glue a piece to the one on the car in the hopes of closing off that gap. If anyone has tried that would be useful to hear the results

          That's sounds like good plan

              nothing you can do about it. originally there was a brush type insert in there. i spoke to an expert when i was fixing up my top and he said just leave it alone. with all the moving parts its not worth trying to cover it without ruining something else
