Window adjustment

[clazar]

I have a 70 RR. I needed to adjust the driver side window & really messed it up. It had a big gap where the frt & rear window meet. Now it's so far out, it's hard to roll up. Is there a simple procedure to get everything lined up correctly???

With windows small adjustments make a big difference......So was all the glass and hardware removed and replaced at some point? Did you replace the "u" channel weatherstrip?

Both windows could be out of adjustment or maybe just one. They should be adjusted together. The front glass in and out adjustment is at the rear of the door through the body plug. The rear glass adjustment are the four large aluminum nuts. You loosen the nut and the tip of the bolt accepts a socket and you adjust from there...It is a trial and error process and takes a bit of time....

The Dr side window had a larger gap at the top rear rubber moulding. I tried to adjust it & everything got out of whack. Right now if I try & roll the window down. It has a lot of resistance to it.

Looks like the frt of the window is rubbing the whiskers too much. How do I adjust that?

Hey all. I have 72 satellite hardtop two door. Have the body shop manual. Tried all different ways. Original equipment with new felt and stoppers etc
Cannot for the life of me get the front of window to seal without being too far up in rear of window. Adjustment bolts as far down as they can go. Any suggestions?
It’s like the entire window needs to move forward and then tilt more.

Uggg stupid. Finally figured it out. I had the pivot adjustment bracket upside down!!
