Default Window Adjustment HELP

My passenger side window has a gap between the weatherstrip and the back 2 inches of the glass. Can the window be adjusted and if so can someone help me with this. Tell me how.
Thanks

Default Window adjustment

Yes, there are adjustments. Under the door panel you can see bolts in slotted holes. These bolts hold the tracks that the window moves in. Someone else may be able to give advice on how to move which one. I just kind of move them around noting how it moves until I get the desired result. There are two vertical tracks and one horizontal one. Movement of the horizontal track up and down will tilt the window up and down in the rear.

Hi VV,
The brackets at the top of the tracks (each with two bolts) are what move the window forward and backward in the door.
I can't understand how you can need 2 inches at the back with out the front being so far forward that you can't close the door. Are you sure you have the right glass? Coupe and convertible are a different size.
Regards,
Alan

I have a coupe when the glass is all the way up and the door closed about 2" of the window air leaks in and it looks like it need to go up and or in towards the weatherstrip. It is the OEM glass that came with the car new. Thanks for the help please reply with any and all info.

I have a 78 and had to adjust my window. I have the GM service manual. If you would like me to, I will photo copy it and email window section to you. PM if would like it.
