door adjustment
Where are the adjustment screws for adjusting the door to fix an air leak in my C5 coupe.?Is this an easy fix or should take it in and have a pro do it? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Are you talking about adjusting the glass against the weatherstrip?
There is a tip-in adjustment behind the reflector in the door panel, but any major glass adjustment to center it in the opening, or raise/lower the glass has to be done where the glass clamps into the window regulator assembly.
