Need help with window adjustments
So I just bought my first vette a 02 Z06 with 77k for 15.5, yeah I know good deal haha, well I drove it back from Phoneix to San Francisco and had a horrible wind noise.
So I read up on the tip-in-out adjustments and tried doing it but it didn't change any thing and ended up making my drivers side window worse if you see the pics it made the widow unseat from the weather stripping by the mirror of tried to adjust it turning the front jack screw counter and clockwise but it doesn't change anything. Should I be turning it counter clockwise or clockwise to fix it?

I adjusted my window to seal to the weatherstripping
by adjusting the very bottom adjustment on the window regulator, I never turned the small screw adjusters.
Also this was on a vert and sealed up nice and tight

I would have to take the door panel off to do that right?

No, the nut and stud you 1st want to adjust is at the bottom of the door inside,
its the jack screw behind the red reflector, I had the door panel off so I could see the adjustment
if your talking about the bolts that hold the regulator clamps to the glass you would do those last if you need to adjust up and down
Sorry if i confused you
to get the glass to seal to the weather strip you would turn the jack screw/stud counter clockwise to push the bottom of the glass out and it pushes the top in.
you want to lengthen the stud

But I can't get the window on the drivers side back in the weather stripping where its out up front in the 3rd and 4th pic.
