I have taken it out and put it back in three times and the gap is still there I think that maybe the window opening is wide possibly from some kind of body damage or something, I guess I will have to figure out some way to fill it with some rubber or epoxy. Thanks for your continued interest.

Did you match it all up to the original or at least to the other side? There is something wrong there, no damage that I can imagine would leave a gap like that.

Yeah I matched it up to the other side and there is a difference between the left and right as to how the window fits. The gaskets are new and fit well too. I am at a loss to figure out why it doesn't fit.

Sounds like the gap that you're having issues with may have been caused by some minor accident where the door may have been damaged; or the previous owner may have pryed the opening a bit trying to fit the glass in.

Yeah that's what I think although I can't quite figure out how it could have happened.

Well you could try cutting thin cardboard (posterboard) patterns of the side that fits and try it in the side that doesn't to see where the difference lies. Seems like it shouldn't be real difficult to track down.
