Default Side Window Upgrade

Is there an upgrade for 1998 side windows so they go up and down that little bit like newer ones before door opens? Ruining my convertible top edging

Adjust your top/window so it doesn't rub.

With door upholstery trim off, speaker assembly out and moisture barrier removed you can adjust the travel height of the window. Lower the window halfway down so you can see the regulator guides through the openings. The screw adjusters are on the guides where they clamp to the glass. Sorry, I don't know jack about vert tops.
