Can you get some photos of how yours is sitting badly, roof up and down? Should help to advise what to do.

It needs tidying up and correcting a little as if you go through all the posts I made some incorrect assertions, but the pictures are clearer than the wiki ones. :P

Unfortunately I'm still struggling I've followed all the literature for adjusting cab windows and now this is where I am!!! Windows sit perfectly when the hood is down but not when the hood is up!!!

The sills (rubber) on the hood seems to be the right way round.

Can anyone help????

Seems to sit in its place without the rear windows!

I guess this means the rear windows need adjusting, what exactly do I do to set the rear windows right?

Fiddle with your nuts until they feel right. 8O


Got any clear pics of just the rear windows up (roof up too)? I'm guessing that the rears are pointing too far inwards which means you'll need to adjust the bolts via the internal torx thing as seen in some of my later pics in my thread.

The gap suggests it is pushing out at the base but in at the top. When both are up the fronts appear to be pretty much in the right place...but then in other pics they don't. Hmmm hard to tell really.

Ok when I close the door with the window down and they put them up the sit in line but with the windows up and closing the door the front stick out unless I pust/tuck the front window in while closing the door!

seens to me like the rear windows are too far forward as in towards the front is the anyway of ajusting that?
