I saw this huge gap as I tested fitted the window frame from a 2017 240 on my 2010 242 (long story short, the driver’s side windshield shattered, it costs $1,300 at the dealership and another $500 to install, I salvaged a glass set from a 2017).

looks like I’m going to cut the 2017 top and bottom frame rails such that I will only use the forward facing glass pieces. Customized or ghetto-tized, I’m not sure but I plan to keep the 2010 parts and bite the bullet on new a new driver’s side window, just not this season. It’s not about the money, it’s about the time.
A little fiberglass work and you can fair that in. :winkingthumbsup"
Hey, why not? Yamaha builds them that way...gaps you can stick your hand out of. You could modify to look something like this.
