The amount of weatherstrip showing at the front of the rolling cover should be close to equal on both the passenger and drivers sides. (Photo shows unpainted parts for clarity) If there is less weather-strip exposed on one side, adjust that rail by loosening all 4 bolts on that side and moving that rail towards the cab.
