Default Window Whistle
The windows on my '63 roadster don't seal around the top of the rag top and make a heck of a loud whistling sound. There is quite a gap on along the top back part of the window. Can they be adjusted to fit tighter? If so any special tools needed? Thanks guys.

The side windows are adjustable for in-out and up-stop and down-stop, but not fore-aft; the fit of the rear vertical edge of the door glass to the weatherstrip on the top frame is achieved by adjusting the top frame. The procedure is covered in detail in the "Body" section of the 1963 Corvette Shop Manual.
