You missed a clip on the drivers side of the seam.

Yes I'm aware. Do you see the lump from the vinyl top seam? The topic of the posting.

Remove trim, carefully bend into shape and put it back when it looks okay. Simple, done a few times.

Or lift the overlap and with a razor, razor knife or Exacto knife cut off the underside overlap or outside section of the vinyl top to make a single piece at that front section between the trim and roof? Glue it back down. From the looks of it you could even leave a little above the trim line say an 1/8th or 3/16th.
