Default How to adjust drivers side window vertically?

Hi guys, had to have my door replaced about a month ago and now the window rattles like crazy when driving, there's a ton of wind noise, and it leaks water. I compared it to the passenger side and it doesn't look like the window is rolled all the way up, is there a way to adjust how far up the window goes? I saw a thread about how to do it to tilt it in and out more. Thanks everyone!

The 2 bolts with the green ends are fine up/down adjustments. If it's really out you have to loosen the bolts holding the glass to the regulator and move it there first.

It’s a lot of work to adjust vertically. You can adjust tilt by just taking off reflector and rubber piece on bottom of door. Probably would start there and see if it helps.

It's not hard at all to make small adjustments. Take the plugs out of the bottom of the door and use an inverse torx socket on the bolts with the window down. Then, put it up to test.
