Question Adjusting Window

I just replaced my passenger side window motor on my 99 Formula but I am having a hell of a time getting my window to align right. I know i need a new set of stabilizers, but the window is still not sealing perfect. It seems as if the regulator needs to be adjusted. How is this done? I see a few bolts that hold the regulator which have arrows next to them pointing down, sideways, and i think up. Are these for adjusting? Can someone please explain with some detail how to properly align window, the motor swap was easy but this is a pita. Thanks. ( By the way the window was not aligned right before the motor finally gave out)

Fantastic link!! Thanks. I am gearing up to replace both in my 99 and the windows in my 92 need adjusting.

Thanks again.

Did any of you guys try this yet? I still need to do this but just haven't managed to get around to it yet.
Wondering how difficult it is/was...

The window motor swap is very easy, just follow the guide from the link posted above. The problem I have is that the rivets that secure the regulator to the inner door frame have dug into the fiberglass which allows the regulator to "slip" when lifting the window. I can not get a seal around the window because of this. Any suggestions? I am thinking to drill out those rivets and use a combo of bolts, nuts and washers...any info would be greatly appreciated.
