Funnily enough, if you click on the E30 WIKI button, and then type in WINDOWS you'll find what you're looking for winkeye

Going on the fact you have a cab take search for a thread by FinalD, He has typed up a great guide on adjusting cab windows.

FinalD's write up isn't great - it's brilliant!

That is the topic, but if you're going to use any of it you'll need to read the whole thread and combine lots of posts as some of my earlier ones with pics have incorrect information which was then pointed out by others.

Wiki guide doesn't, but my thread covers both, front and rear.

Stop height. That's a really easy adjustment, I think the proper wiki guide has information on that. Basically just need to move the stop blocks up a little bit in the tracks on the rear windows.

E: I might well write up a proper guide (with pics) this evening or later in the week on adjusting the windows as I need to sort a slight problem I have on the driver side and it'd be handy to have a full pictured guide for the front and rear of the cabs. :)

The adjustment is easy. It's the hardtop on and off, rear side cards removal and refitting that is the boring bit :(

True...once you know what you're doing. Before you've done it, it seems like a pain to do and it is a pain the first time you adjust them really.
