Default Weatherstrip - Window Adjustment

Installing weatherstrip on my '96 in the roof front and rear areas. The windshield and rear halo. Was concerned if there are any window adjustments that will be needed after the new weatherstrip is installed?

Thank you in advance.

With the front strip you may need to adjust the windows. Huge hassle as you have to remove the door panels and it doesn't really work well (in my experience).

Do yourself a favor and check the caulk under your wind shield frame pieces. I redid my weatherstripping but it turned out the caulk had competely disintegrated so water was running in around the windshield

Thank you for your advice.

Does one need to "adjust" or "realign" the windows if one has completely loosened and removed the two bolts that hold the metal tray thing inside the door panel and removed that?

Picture related.
