Is the part where the top meets the tub behind the doors nested together and tight?
It all seems to be tight.
There are two different windshield flanges. One for wiper on top and one for wiper on bottom. I remember being a minute different from the two tops when I put the later cap on my 1968. I wouldn’t rule out someone cutting the round circles for the late cap from a donor cap. Also make sure you have the proper seal piece that goes between the cowl and the bottom of the windshield frame.
Also it appears your windshield frame is tilted forward from the door gaps pics you posted I’d drill out the rivet on the header get the weather stripping for The top of the windshield frame bolt it all together. Loosen the top cap from the sides adjust all door/windshield frame gaps and rivet it back together.
I betcha you've got a 60-64 fiberglass hardtop which is a couple of inches longer than all later years, that's why there are spaces on the windshield frame to take up the added length.View attachment 1849144 View attachment 1849145 View attachment 1849146 View attachment 1849147 View attachment 1849144 View attachment 1849145 View attachment 1849146 View attachment 1849147 I have the brakes and these spacers. Should I just try pushing it into place and tightening it down?

Um there are a few options depending on year. Take a picture of your dash so we can tell you.
How I do mine is I take the screws out and pull on my windshield till the hard top slips together then I tighten up the window screws. You shouldn’t need that aluminum piece you posted the picture of something is wrong, I’m not sure what but it’s compensation for a bad fit. You can see the where the OEM holes where in your fiber glass top in one of the pics so whoever owned it before you did something wonki.
