Well now that i have my new wheater strip i must adjust the windows alittle to get it nice and straight.
I need to tilt the passenger window forward alittle,its nice in the bottom but in the top its a little bit from the wheather strip.
Also the driver side needs to get adjusted,in the bottom front it need to be more pushed in,if i push the window alittle it gets perfect.
How do you do this?
And How do you get the window crank of? cant get it of to take the door panel of...
The crank is held on by a U clip that clips on the crank. It's best to get the tool for removing the clip. Cheap from any auto parts store. You have to slide the tool between the door panel and the crank. You'll also need to figure out which direction to push, so ask the guys at the store to show you a crank and the clip so you know what you're trying to push off. Should take about 10 seconds.

The GM Service Manual for your year has a window adjustment procedure in it that is simple and easy to follow. As has been suggested, the window crank and lock button are held on by what is known as an "omega clip". It is called that because it looks like the Greek letter omega - a capital U with legs. You can buy a simple tool at most auto parts stores for this or you can fashion a simple omega clip puller from very stiff wire, the kind they make key chains out of. Put a very small hook in one leg of this (the hook shouldn't be more than 1/16") and then straighten out enough of the key chain to give you a 2" straight piece, with the hook in the end. Use this home-made tool by depressing the door panel and much as you are comfortable with and looking for the upper part of the omega clip - the top of the "U". Push the hook under the clip and pull it straight out. I have done this a dozen times when I am in a salvage yard and need to get into the door.

Where do you get this gm service manual?
Living in sweden so i dont have any big gm dealers around here..
maybe this book helps
ore maybe its crap?
That book isn't crap, but I wouldn't rely on it. The shop manual is much better. That Haynes manual tries to cover all the years, the shop manual is specific to your car. Alot of the vendors listed in the links here sell them and you can usually find your year on eBay. I bought mine straight from Helm. http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?r=
I have to believe one of the sources will be willing to send one overseas.
This may help you with the window crank clip. I tried this and it worked the 1st time!!!! BUT I had new clips,handles and door panels going back on!!! As usual,a friend had MY clip removal tool.
Try sliding a rag behind the handle and pulling it like a you're starting a lawn mower. Sounds GROSS but it works!!!! LOL
This is the NCRS web site and their store, specifically the 68-82 library. You can shop until you drop or are broke. You don't need to be a member and, if you call them (might be a bit expensive for you from Sweden) they are very helpful. I can't imagine ANYONE not owning the original GM Service Manual as well as the Assembly Instruction Manual, the AIM.
You can get the Shop Manual on Ebay for $59 (re-print).... or $129 at most of the vendors...
Very well spent money !!
You just told him that he can buy the manual for $59 when he can go to the NCRS store and buy it for around $40. What am I missing here? In addition, for the $129 that you mentioned at a vendor he can buy the Service Manual (also called Chassis Service Manual), the AIM, and a couple of other books to boot.

was out and adjusted the windows today didnt get that window crank of but managed to turn the door panel so i got to it.
The passenger side went great now it lines up perfectly
But the drivers side was more difficult.the window needs to go more inwards in the front bottom of the window.
some here that have done this??
