The 'limit stop' is easy, just push the up button and hold it for several seconds when the window hits the top. The limit is then set. The other adjustment involves removing the door panel and adjusting the angle of the window glass. It is a bit more involved. The service manual has the full procedure.

If you have a vert, you might need to adjust the top, not the window.

Here is the window tip in adjustment. I also added a few other files on wind noise.
