Default 2000 Convert top drivers glass rub

I just purchased a 2000 convert and noticed upper corner of drivers door glass rubbing at corner of top where their would be a B pillar (starting to fray fabric very slight) wish to adjust door glass any help available on how to adjust or should I take to Chev dealer, bump shop or glass store.
Thank you.

It may be the top that needs adjustment, not the glass. Check this thread:

Thank you I suspect turning 13 mm adjustment screw CW is what I should do to get top away from glass. On drivers side it is ok but by directions should do on both sides same.

i had same problem, fixed...
dont adjust the window.
put the top down and look under the plastic flap by the seal belt on the drivers side. in the square hole you will see an adjusting bold with an locking nut, i think its 10 mm or 13mm, losen the nut and tighten the bolt then retighten the nut, this raises the convertable top so the window will close under the convertable top... you have to do it on both sides , or the top will be **** eyed.
i did this only problem is the top now leaks in the car wash, maybe i can bring it back down a turn ot two.
also i had alot of wind noise but now that the window closes all the way, ita a bit quieter. Email me if you need more help i have pictures i think.
