Off the top of my head..........take the door panel off, and look towards the upper back end of the door. You're looking for a nut that mounts the regulator. The stud it holds has a place to put an allen head wrench in. What you do (to move the top of the window towards or away from the weatherstripping) is loosen the nut, then turn the stud. If memory serves, clockwise pulls the window away, and counterclockwise moves it in. You'll have to experiment with it and makes sure my memory hasn't failed Tighten the nut and then shut the door. Test it for leaks and windnoises. There are sooooo many adjustments you can make to these windows, it isn't even funny (or right...talk about a headache when you have to work on them all the time ). Best advice I can offer is just play around with the adjustments and see what happens. Good luck, and PM me if you need any more help.

I've found my windows leak right in the middle area of the ttops... but only when I goto a bay car wash....
I'd freak if it was leaking that bad. Put it on a frame machine then weld the sfcs in.
I also saw a TV show (on speed channel i think) where the guy used a weatherstripping build up tape that was placed behind the strip to create a tighter fit.
02hawk502's method sounds a little better though.

Thanks 02Hawk, I'll give it a shot. I get a tiny dribble of water inside the passenger side window when I wash the car. It only does that when water is sprayed under pressure with a hose.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
