Going to work on this myself tonight after work. I can't believe this keeps getting brought back from the dead, but I am thankful it was so easy to find! I am having to do this on my 95. And I have the other issues some other members have mentioned, like the slowness of the window rolling up unless I pull on it while I push the up button. Might be corroded contacts so I am gonna try that first. Unfortunately this window has been leaking for years from what I can tell and the floorboard behind the passenger seat is rusted completely through. Of course that happens while the car is for sale. Wonder if someone can weld in a new piece for me?
This needs to be bumped again. Just saved my *** today in a very very leaky Trans AM. If anyone has a broken window alignment bracket they are still available. The OE part number is 10257988 and a company called Dorman makes an aftermarket unit, part number 45359.
My window is wobbly, I can move it front to back by hand. It gets caught when shutting. I need to steady it with my hand for it to go up smooth. What is the fix for this issue.
Resurrecting an old thread... I tried everything you listed and was able to get the window 90%, thanks for that!
However, it seems like my window needs to move towards the rear of the car more. I have a gap in the rear of my drivers side that will allow water in still... Any ideas how I can move the window forward and aft?
Thanks for the write up! Helped me out!
**EDIT**
Looks like there is a number 5 labeled on the door, I undid those bolts along with the bolt below on the arm and it seemed to almost get me there. I am sooo close now. Shouldn't really get much road noise, but if I go through a car wash I am sure I would still get sprayed. Hopefully that helps someone else out if they are having the same issue.

Took me a couple hours each day over the weekend fiddiling with the adjustements, but finally got my window acceptable. There is a "tiny" gap in the back that may allow water in still, but hopefully I am ok now.
Thanks again for this tutorial.

I have my window brush assys tight against the windo and still have a gap near the mirror where water is just pooring in wondering how i can get the window against it thanks!
5. Lastly I tried moving the fwd end of the track full down, (D). The front of the window went full up so i closed the door and i'll be damned, tighter than a frogs ***!!!
thanks for this helpful write-up, sneaky7980 - my driver's side window is now tighter than a frog's ***!!
I have this issue where the driver side window isn't fitting against the weatherproofing. Is there a way I can adjust the window or do I need new weatherproofing. There isn't even an indentation where the window makes contact with the weather strip shown on passenger side window.
Man this is a great thread. I've used it several times over the years. However, new car, new issue. My drivers side window causes so much resistance against the seals that it makes the door difficult to close. With the window down it shuts great. There's a gap between the outer window felt and the glass. I've tried to adjust the glass out with the 2 jackbolts at the rear as well as move the inner felts all the way out towards the glass. That helps but it puts too much of a bind on the glass when going up and down.
When I got my 2000 Camaro SS Convert, both windows were (and still are!) jacked up. I am not sure how there are to align to the seal with the top. Does anyone have a few pictures for how the windows and the seals should match up? It it to the TOP of the gasket (that is where mine are) or is it in the slight channel that is about 1/4 way down? If I line it up here (just by using the up/down) it seems the the little forward triangle the the mirror mounts to is too tall as the window is down about 1/4-1/2 inch.
I take a bath in every freaking rain and I collect about 1/2 of water in the floor boards which stands... (need to replace carpet due to mold- but want to get it sealed first!)

If im reading what you are asking correctly, the window is supposed to be kinda under the rubber seal at the top.

Any suggestions?
