window adjustment
Ok, i replaced the weather stripping on the targa top and rear section, went really smooth thanks to the people that suffered through it before to make it easier on us slower people. BUT it rained today and i started on both sides started to leak where the front of the stripping meets the windshield one, so i went to try to lean the window in to make it fit tighter into the stripping and no matter what i did i was unable to change the angle enough. whats next?????????

just read up on it, did so many different things today not sure if i can get it back to ground zero to do it again but will try, one thing. the higher the window is with-in the regulator clamps allows for more tip in? right??

The window tip in adjustment is intended for minor adjustments of 1/8 inch or less.
You may need to remove the door panel, and use the window clamps to recenter the glass in the opening and raise or lower it to fit the new weatherstripping.
Also, I think the window tip-in is mainly for the rear corner of the glass. If you need to tip the front of the glass in, you might try adjusting the lower window regulator mounting bolt.
Since the top of the rail is fixed, moving the bottom of the rail outward should tip the top of the glass inward.

ok, i did everything the book said and still cant get the front part to tip in enough, meaning, where the targa top meets the windshield weather stripping there is still a gap then it doesn't seem to want to tuck under the weather stripping it wants to lay against the strip. I did the major window adjust first, then the height adjustment second then the tip in last with no success. still the same.
Also I need a right side window regulator blue wheel that the wire rides on its the front bottom one. anyone have one from a old bad reg.
