Customs 1954 Chevy belt molding

Ok so I chopped my '54 2 door post and put in a rear shoebox back gl***. I'm at the point where I'm starting the body work so I'm test fitting the moldings. I noticed on the belt molding in the rear where is sits under the rear window, it seams to be sticking up a little like there is a void between the top of the trim and the body itself. It's the worse where the trim make the bend from the rear side window and moves around the back. I never touched the belt molding and the rear window is set above the trim line so the window trim and belt line don't touch each other like it was stock. Is this why, they left room for the stock window trim to meet it?
I'm at work and don't have pics with me, but here is one that at least shows the window placement. It doesn't look terrible, but I'm wondering if it is what it is when you don't use the stock gl*** or if my trim is bent? Close up pics from you guys would be awesome.

 

I had all the belt molding off my (stock roof) 54 2 door when I repainted it a few years ago, and I do not remember it sticking up in the back like you describe.

Your trim fit situation might be caused by your roof line being laid down at a shallower angle than stock due to your chop. You may have to m***age that molding a bit to improve the fit. That might be difficult to do without a few well placed pie cuts, but it is thin stainless, so you can TIG weld it. Have you just held it in place or tried to pull it down with the fasteners? It might fit a bit better once fastened.

 

I held it in place with big soft jaw vice grips, but didn't bolt it down. I pushed it by hand with two people holding it essentially acting like it was bolted down. It's fine from the center of the back window to where it starts to curve and then flush again where the curve stops and goes to the door. It's just where the curve is. I looked a bunch of pics online and without seeing a closeup, it appears the trim sits up when they have a back window/chop similar to mine. I hate how it looks, but if it's normal when you don't have that rear window molding meeting it, I guess it is what it is...
