This is a common problem. The rubber that is around the glass is not
holding onto the frame and the force of the wind against the inside
of the top material is lifting the frame from the glass. We usually
have the window installed with Urethane for both the windshield and
the door glass on the BJs rather than the rubber that swells when
installed.
