Yes George. Where the rear quarter panels meets the roof and the A pillars
meet the roof. The should NOT be filled in to make the area smooth. If you
ever have to replace the roof, A pillar, or quarter panel, you'll need to
know where the seam is so you can cut the bad part off.
I originally did mine with the adheasive. But I wasn't sure it was paintable
so I dug that out. But since my top had been replaced, the lip on the quarter
panel that is supposed to go under the roof was missing. I was worried about
getting water in the gap. So, I filled it with dyna-glass and bondo. Well
see how long it lasts, if I ever get my car finished. :)
