I assume you mean adjust the window/glass. In my 78 AIM and the service manual there are the steps to adjust the window. Or do a search here or on the Internet, YouTube. Take your time and be patient.
Good luck, Bill

The best way that worked for me is loosen everything up at once, get a couple suction cup glass deals, and hold the glass where you want it to land. That's the idea, right? Get it nice where you want it when up?
Have a small partner crawl/stay in, and snug everything.
Then carefully test it up and down, fine tuning it.

My God. That sounded like having sex.

Thanks guys
I did it before 5 years ago when we did the first paint job, I seem to remember having a step by step instruction. I do have both the AIM manual and the repair manual. I'll take another look.
