Need Help Aligning Door and Window I've searched but can't find anything helpful.
I had a new Driver's Side door installed because my old one was sagging very bad due to an...incident I had a few years ago. The new door is great, but it needs some minor alignment and I don't want to wait 3 weeks for the body shop to get around to having time for me again.
There are two problems. The first is the window. I need to know how to move the window towards the front of the car by about a 1/8 inch. The window sits too far towards the back of the car and I get wind and rain coming through the crack since it doesn't seal. It is very annoying.
The second problem is that my door is not closing all the way. It latches correctly, but the door sticks out a few mm from the body of the car. This once again creates wind noise and water leaking into my car.
I do not know where to even start with these two problems, so any help you can give me will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Get the door aligned first, otherwise you'll align the window, align the door, and have to redo the window all over again. Once you align the door (not sure how to do that) go here and follow these directions:
