Default 98 convert top question

I recently bought a 98 C5 and my top seals tight on drivers side, but not passenger. Wind whistles and you can see through while driving. Anyone know how to adjust the top or if it can be? I looked all over and can't find any info. Thanks!!

I own a 98 Convertible and never had this problem (yet) ..BUT I believe you will have to adjust the window itself to fit the top just like you do on the C2 and C3 corvettes... should not be hard to do...IF (and I do not know) its basically the same as my 64 and 72...

In the back of my mind (somewhere) I seem to recall that you could also adjust the how far the window would travel... electronically increase its top height or decrease its top height

I looked at it and if the window would go up a little more, it would seal. Great idea, now, does anyone know how to make this happen??

The manual shows all the adjustments necessary. If seals are dead, they run close to $900.00 and one of them is not available. Hope my '04vert never needs help........
