How to raise window adjustment?
I need to raise the window on my passenger side. It was adjusted too low at the dealership and now I have wind noise. They adjusted my drivers side perfectly. I cant get back to the dealer till next week and need to do this asap. The tip in looks fine, I know how to adjust that, I need to have it up a bit more. Anyone?

i just watched a leak guy perform what you need at the dealer on my 2000. dont have a door diagram but if someone posts one i will identify the part. its just a matter of a slide bolt adjustment.

Window Height Adjustment - Door Minor
Use this procedure when window height is off less than 3 mm (0.12 in).
1) Open the door and remove the small front access plug and the rear access plug from the underside of the door.
2) Adjust the front and the rear window regulator jack screws equally.
3) Close the door and check the window alignment.
4) Open the door and install the access plugs.

i cannot discern the part i spoke of in the diagram above. once you get the door panel off , pull back the rubber? piece that is maybe 15"sq.at the aftmost portion of the door. there is a grey plastic box that might remind you of an octagon electrical box. there is 1 hex head bolt that slides up or down in a notch. hope that makes a little sense..........sorry i can't help much more........ it may be part #16

Perfect 
The adjustments were around #52 and #26.
I least I have no fear in ripping my car apart at 8pm on a dark rainy night.
No more wind noise
Thanks for the tip and diagram, made my day and weekend.

Up/Down adjustments need to be made in the door itself, requiring the door panel to come off. It just took time to make small adjustments, tighten it up, check it, readjust, tighten, check.... yadda,yadda,yadda....
