You're allowed to use more words. Like year of car, what do you need to adjust, anything happen to change the adjustment? Tip in? Top travel? Is it the 84 shown in your avatar? Does the back of the window hit the door at the top when up?

Also, I have found that searching google and looking for the link that sends you to this forum is an easier way to find stuff on here.

See the image below from my shop manual, first check the window regulator is not worn. Partially lower the window and see if there is any movement in the regulator/window.

The guide circled is to limit the window upward movement and also how much the top of the glass tilts inward to the targa top seal.
Only a small amount of movement makes a big difference.
Good luck

I'm having a problem with my windows too. Ever since I got new weatherstripping, the windows don't go all the way up. They rub up against the weatherstripping. And the doors are hard to close unless the windows are down The windows go all the way up when the doors are open. I guess I need to tilt the windows outward. Which screw does that ??
