Default Window Tab Adjustment

Anyone familiar with how to adjust the window tabs that are intended to hold the glass in one the C5? My new Z06 has a tab on the driver side door that is just touching the glass when you close the door. It looks like a simple thing to adjust, but I don't want to break it. The dealer wants me to leave the car for the day and I don't want to leave it. The next appt they could take me for to wait for it isn't until next week. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just wrap it and bend it with pliers. If it is just touching the glass when closed, then it's nearly perfect now. If you get a gap between the glass and clip more than the thickness of 20lb. paper, then you are risking wind noise when runing at higher speeds.
