Default 2002 Window adjustments?

My passenger side window has a slight air leak. I’ve read that there is an adjustment under the door and behind the door reflector.

1. Do you adjust both to make the window tip in?
2. Do you take the whole door panel off to make this adjustment?

Thank you

Which screw is in and out and do you have to take the panel off?

You don't have to take the panel off to adjust tip in/out. There are a pair of adjustments for tip in/out: one for the rear rail and one for the front rail. The rear adjustment is behind the red reflector that just pops out of the panel. The front adjuster is on the underside of the door behind a rectangular rubber plug. Adjust the front and rear similarly or the rails won't be parallel and the glass won't go up and down smoothly.

I adjusted the screws counter clockwise a half a turn. I was afraid to go any farther. Didn't help. Keep going?

Its not that sensitive you'll have to move it more than that. Dont be afraid to over do it because you can always reverse it and find the Goldilocks zone
