My window on the drivers side needs slightly adjusting to meet the rubbers on the hardtop roof anyone got a good 'how to' or advice on adjusting them?

I think I should have my own 'hardtop' section on the zone
make sure the hardtop is 'down' enough before you fiddle with the windows - it is very adjustable (if you have a BMW hardtop I should say)
if you are sure this is correct, all cab-stylee adjustments are very well shown in Bentleys...................

I've seen this a few times... if anyone fancied doing a tech help thing on adjusting cab windows it would go down well on this site...

for the hardtop, just look at the gap where is sits on the bodywork. Make sure it is the same both sides. (run your finger around the gap)
There is an L-shaped piece of rubber - this should be down snugly on the chrome strips. Even if the hardtop looks the same on each side, my car still had a gap above the drivers side rear window. I adjusted the hardtop 'down' slightly by taking the big pin out, turning the inner screw, refitting it and then locking it down
small changes seem to add up, and everything is snug.
Have you got a Bentleys? It's worth the money just for the detail adjustments you can make on the windows (and soft-top frame if need be), but there's tons of other useful stuff.
