Question Is there a way to tighten the door seal ??

Over 140 mph the window blows right off the seal. Even through car washes the spray gets inside and splashes me in the face and gets through on the drivers side too.

Any way to tighten the window inwards??

If you take off the wheel well, you can get up to the door hinge bolts. If you push the door in towards the car a bit, it may help - but you'l need to realign the door and fender if you do this. The door is the only adjustment you can do - nothing on the window itself.

The window is completely adjustable, http://shbox.com/1/adj_window.html you can easily tilt it in or any other adjustment you need. I'm not sure why wssix99 posted what he did??????? DO NOT mess with the door hinges!

Thank you so much ! I did tighten my windows on my c4 corvette I figured the camaro must have it. Sadly all I have previously read led me to believe the adjustment isn't there on a 4th gem.
