Driver's side window sticks out too much on my cab (which will have lots of lovely photos posted once I have had time to give it some love this weekend). Causes windnoise over 70mph, and leaks.

How do I adjust it so it leans in towards the car more? Ant said something about a ten mile spanner and a grommet at the bottom of the door?

Cheers for the pearls of wisdom I'm about to receive.

I need to sort this out to. Aldready had a play with the hinges but need a second pair of hands to position it right before re-tightening the doors.
