Windows howl-- help
My windows are howling at highway speeds and if i push outward on the drivers window the squeak stops. I think the weather stripping is still in decent shape-- is there any way to adjust how high the motor pushes the window?

There are stops inside the door, you must remove the door panel.
There is a rubber stop in the front that contacts an adjustable metal stop.
In the rear it's a kind of forked guide, a real pain to get correct on both ends.
If you adjust them so that water does not leak in at the top, they shut hard.
Just keep messing with them and you will eventualy get it right.

The windows are adjustable like Moffitt said, but there are other adjustments that position the window forward and back as well as up and down.
I just had a replacement top put on mine and my Corvette guy completely adjusted the window that way so it fit exactley where it belonged.
Years ago [30+] we used the dollar method. place a $bill between the glass and the rubber. It should be snug. If it pulls out with no drag the window is not tight.
