window noise
Is there any ajustment on a convertible top to the window. I have a slite air breeze on the drivers window towards the back so to speak.
Looking to find out if the top could be ajusted any before taking the door panel off to ajust the tilt of the window.
Any idea's?

You can adjust the tilt of the window without removing the door panel. The red reflector pops out and the adjustment is behind it. Do a search on window adjustment and read up before you change anything. This adjustment will tilt in the top of the window to fit more snugly if that's where the leak is. If it's at the back of the window and the top is already snug, that won't do it. There's also a blow out clip at the top that has an adjustment, too. Again, do a search and read up on the possibilities.

Definitely do the search and 65GGVert is right about the red reflector but you also have to loosen another nut underneath the door.
