One piece window issues

I bought these in December 2010 but haven't gotten around to working on them until now. Install wasn't that bad, but now I'm seeing some issues. First, the glass doesn't really fit the opening that well. I have it adjusted so there's about a 1/4" of glass in the rear track/frame when up, but this leaves a gap at the front. I get why, as it barely clears the front of the door when rolled down. There are foam spacers in the kit that space the weatherstrip out to "fix" this, but in my opinion it looks like crap. You then have big chunk of the weatherstrip showing. Anyone else ran into this? IF I decide to keep these I'll probably reshape that area of the door to look better (bring the curve back) or mount a mirror over the area. The other thing is the rear track mount at the back edge of the door. The kit includes a bracket to change the angle of the track. This causes the rear mounting bolt to be crooked, see the last pic. Fixing that will require modifying the track to match the door at the new angle. It isn't even mentioned in the directions.
