windows leak on Vette....Help!
Does anyone know how I can fix my leaks on my 1980 vette? My driver side and passenger side windows leak at the top and on the front and rear corners. I've done everything that I can think of (other than taking it to a pro). I've adjusted and readjusted the adjustment bolts for the windows. But they just won't go all the way up into the weatherstripping channels. I've tried everything in the Haynes manual and my shop manual. I've even tried yelling at it 
. But no luck. Is there anything else that I could try? By the way the weatherstripping is new from Wilcox. Thanks

I'm guessing that you overlooked an adjustment location. I remember there being 2 stops in the tracks themselves and a horizontal bar adjustment that supports the bottom of the glass. This is a 76 C-3 I'm thinking of so I'm not sure if it's the same on an 80. Hopefully someone with an 80 will offer help.
