I recently replaced my windshield topseal...after the replacement I have to pull down on the top to compress the seal then latch. The same goes for unlatching. The "new" manufactured seals are just a tad different. Your adjustments sound good as the guid pins are lining up. the other adjustment is for tension of the back window panel. After I installed the new seal I took the car by a trusted interior shop and followed his advice: close the top and let it sit outside in the Texas sun for a couple days...it seemed to help.
