Door window adjustment???
My passenger door window must be a little misaligned. the window strikes the little plastic black guide in the targa top just ever so slightly when closing the door and from the alignment of the window to the seals, I can see that it seems the window is coming a little too far up in the door when fully raised.
How can this be adjusted?
Also, is there a way to change the angle of the window towards the car??
Thanks !!

Yes,
To do minor tip in adjustment you need a number 6 inverted torx socket, move the window fully up, remove axcess plug under door (speaker area) loosen mounting nut (10mm?) Next remove the reflector (pry bottom out) loosten jam nut(10mm?) adjust jack screw (torx), tighten jam nut. Lower window, tighten front mounting nut(axcess plug) check alignment.
To do minor hight adjustment, remove small axcess plugs at the front and rear of the bottom of the door and adjust the jack screws. probaly the same torx bit.
If thats still not enough you will have to pull the door panel. Two screws behind the handle and clips around the bottom and sides, then lift up. Carful the clips break easy.
Use a dollar bill inbetween the glass and wether stripping for a seal check. Close the door on the bill and pull it around the glass. It should have a medum drag, if it dosen't you could have wind/water leaks. Hope this solves your problem
