What you have there is 2 of the 3 versions of the quarterlight area that old Quantum tried. On the blue one you need to replace the rubber seal on the door pillar and take it all the way up past where the corner of the hood is. Cut back half the width 6mm above where the hood corner is so the hood squashes it when fitted.
This is the final version that Quantum did like mine www.quantums.info/hood.htm and on my car it didn't leak for about 3 or 4 years. Now i get some drips but i need to replace the rubber seal stuck to the windscreen pillar. You can modify the white one to this spec The white hood looks like the main hoop is to high and/or the rear hoop is too high (the rear hoop pivots normally need to be as low as they can go on the main hoop). But , if it's a later QSC hood from about 3 years ago the fit of them was terrible, the gap above the rear of the door glass was much larger than that at the front. I saw several of them at the time. I don't think there is much that can be done with them without a trimmer reshaping the hood.
