Window adjustment help
I have a 2003 Z06. I got the door panel of already because i need to adjust the drivers window. The reason im doning this is the window need to go a little further back. How do you adjust the window forward and back(not tip in) Need the window to go back so it sits on the weatherstrip better. I already loosened the 2 bolts on the window clamps and tried to tap the window back, but it did not work. Any help would be great tks

I've never heard of any other procedure except tipping the window.
But I would look at 2 other options:
#1: Make sure the weatherseal doesn't need to be replaced.
#2: Check your door's alignment.
