Hello, 1982 owner here. Pulled the trim off my door panel to fix locks, didn't touch windows, and now its all together and my windows are being weird. Driver side window, top corner wants to bang against the side of the B pillar, maybe half a centimeter out from where it should be. Passenger side window goes infront of the weather seal, rather than inside of it, when closing door with window up. Suggestions for fix?

I just bought my Vette a few weeks ago,and their are like 7 or 8 bolts on the door that you can adjust for different things,it actually takes two people for this,someone guiding the window,and then someone with the socket,you can see some of the bolts have slotted holes on them for adjusting,It take a little patience but once I figured what the bolts did,it was pretty easy,there are two bolts like on the inside of the door,don’t forget to loosen them they made a big difference,hope this helps, good luck.

if you can pull up on the window and it moves a bit you will remove the panel again and tighten some bolts up for sure the door also has anti rattle pads that could have loosened
do a google search on adjusting the glass you can do it yourself with no help or a extra hand

But you do have to remove the whole door panel to get to the holes.
