yup you can fix that.
If the window needs tilt towards the front or back:
Open the door panel. Identify if the front or rear needs adjustment (or both in some cases) remove the speaker panel, or the large plastic piece that covers the rear section. There will be a (13mm?) bolt that holds the window clamp. Loosen this and you can adjust the window up and down. Tighten to secure in place.
this is what they look like (driver's side):
rear
front
if the window needs adjustment inwards against the seal the main adjustment is easily accessable. Open the door itself and look on the underside, You'll see a small rubber seal about the size of a matchbook. Remove this and you'll see a 10mm nut on a bolt. Loosen this (don't remove) and you'll have about an inch of play. To move the window inwards, push the bolt to the outside of the door.
good luck.
note: with targa-topped coupes, you will get wind noise at speeds over 70mph period.... there's nothing much you can do about that except slow down and who wants to do that

windowtilt / seal
I have adjusted my window tilt to the fullest tilt I can and the windows still leak. I'm wondering now if the windows have dropped in the clamps to the point where they just don't roll up high enough to seal. I'm going to use this post to try to raise my windows to the point where they seal.
Thanks
