G'day Herman. Looks like she's got real potential. The roof material does shrink over time. I couldn;t stretch mine even 2 millimetres. Maybe if I soaked it??? Welcome to the forum, there are heaps of helpful folks here.

Hi Granville, it look like the lining inside is ripped not sure if I can new materiel into the existing lining to secure the wire back into the correct position. Might try a bit of duck tape first until I can find the correct fix.

Welcome
I’m sure that there is a little bit of adjustment of the window, within the window mechanism inside the door.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will be able to help.

It seems the window and seals are fine, materiel that holds the cable is torn, This is on the underside of the roof.

You can adjust the latches either side. There is a small Allen key on the underside, back these off and turn the latches equal amounts and tighten back up.

Thanks, I’ve realised the headlining holding the cable is torn both sides. Will see if it’s possible to sew in new strips to secure the cable back in the correct position. The cable is taught so now a problem with the adjustments.
