Window air leakage
I have read quite a few threads on the matter at hand. I think my tip in towards the front of both my windows needs to be taken in to compress more against the weatherstripping. I also noticed that a clip is missing on the passenger side. Could anyone confirm if the clip should be on both sides or just driver?
When I get above 80 MPH it sounds like the passenger window POPs open. Take a look at the pictures below.
If you look closely you can see it pops out a bit there.

I tried following the Window tip in adjustment, but the window doesn't seem to move. I loosen the jam nut then I tried going Counterclockwise on the jam screw, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I was only adjusting the front adjustment which under the door, not the one behind the reflector. Both the driver side and passenger side windows stick out a bit at that corner that I have taken pictures up above.
I wanted to move that corner of the window inward, but when I tried to use that adjustment it made no difference.
I even loosened the jam nut them pushed with my finger on where I wanted the adjuster to go then tighten the jam nut. That still didn't move the window how I wanted.

Yes, there is supposed to be clips on both sides. I'm moving this to C5 Tech to see if someone can help with the window tip-in adjustment problem you are having. Good luck.
