Default Passenger window problems

Ok so since I've owned my Z, the window has had issues, the weather stripping doesn't line up right at the top edge of the glass, plus it sagged some, both of which I was able to easily correct....for the most part.

However, it seems like it doesn't line up right, on occasion it will hit the top "tab" thing on the window. Tonight when leaving dinner my girlfriend shut her door and the glass caught the "tab" and stuck on the outside, enough for her to noticed the sound and look up, she was able to almost stick her finger thru the gap.

So any ideas to why it is doing this? I opened the door and reshut it and it was fine but you can see marks where it has been rubbing.

Thanks for the input.....

Sounds like you just need to adjust the window "tip in".

EDIT: just noticed the pictures are dead on the site...but still useful info.

Appreciate the site and info, I'll try and give it a whirl this weekend if I have the time, would be great if it were something simple like that.

And yea, those would be a nice added touch but at least the instructions are still there.
