Hi All,
I have an 88/89 Cabriolet. The driver’s side window overlaps the rear side window at the top by a few mm’s when closing. This has removed the paint slightly on the metal strip, but also restricts the closing of the driver’s door tacking a couple of attempts to close it, or drop the window.
Does anyone know if the rear window is adjustable ? if so, is there a thread on here /elsewhere ? on how to do it ?
It is a manual roof.
Thanks in anticipation,
Regards C.

Although this says front windows, it covers the rears, too.

Thanks Ben, for the response. I have managed to figure it out. I ended up taking the full window and mechanism out, as after I had adjusted it, it still seemed to go ”aback to base”a. There appears to be a lot of ”aplay”a in the mechanism, so even after I took it out and adjusted things it still only slightly better . When I put the hood back up it pushed it where it wanted to be . The good side is I used it as an opportunity to grease every bit of it and it now shoots up and down very freely , so I now know how to do the other side now, so half the time.
Thanks C .
