Rear quarter glass frame adjust?

Post by burgandy81 »

Hi All,

Installing my new roof and before I glue anything I have been trying make sure all is aligned.

My driver window fits well.

Passenger window seems off. The top of the window contacts the bright-work on the rear quarter window at the top only.

Can I adjust this? Looking at the assembly I do not see any obvious points of adjustment.

Thanks,

Jordan

Is the door's window all the way forward? Sometimes the window regulator wires get loose and the window can slip back, or either the back or front be lower.

Unless your door is hung wrong or the top frame is installed incorrectly then the adjustment is the forward vent window, then the window on its track.

Yesterday I had a chance to get back to this.

Thanks Brad, I adjusted the window mechanism at the front quarter glass and it is looking better. Not perfect but better.

I will check the mounting bolts at the frame itself, I may be able to move the assembly back a little to finish this up nicely.
