Default Side window Angle.

Does anyone know how to adjust the bottom of the side glass to be closer to the car to seal an air leak? This is the rear of the side glass.
Thx

I will assume that you have indexed your side glass per your owner manual. You will have to first remove the door trim panel. Per the service manual, there are some small plastic access hole covers at the upper forward and rearward surface of the door inner panel. removing them will allow access to the in/out adjustment of the glass. You need to be inside the car with the door closed to loosen the rear adjustment while some one moves the glass to better fit the weatherstrip. Door trim panels remove easier when the glass is in the down position. So you will have to remove the door glass switch from the trim panel and reconnected it to the wiring harness temporarily. At this point the service manual is not explicit about the adjustments. So, you are now on your own. Good luck.
