Default Window Adjustment - C6 Vert

Can anyone please help me with a window adjustment question?

I'm not talking about an indexing problem, the window index function works just fine. The issue is that the driver's window needs to be raised about 1/2". I have wind noise on the driver's side only, and if I raise it 1/2" it will match where the passenger window is when that door is closed but before the window indexes into the upper seal.

The problem is that the window on the driver's side starts out too low before it indexes, so it is not making a tight seal.

Is the adjustment on the window guide rails similar to the C5, where you can loosen the bolts, raise the window in the tracks, and retighten?

Any help would be appreciated!

To do a minor adjustment (<3mm) Remove the two access plugs on the bottom of the door and adjust the window regulator jack screws equally.

To do a major adjustment requires that you gain access to the window regulator. If you need the directons, I will take a picture of the page in the service manual and post it. PM me if you need it.
