My windows on my convertible don't sit correct. Is there a way of adjusting them? I'm getting abit worried about breaking one of them. The front windows don't seem to fit the rears and they catch on the roof when i shut the doors.

I am not very good at explaining things like this, but I have adjusted the front windows on mine...
there are two adjustments, to change the parallel fit. Lower the window half way, and loosen the two screws towards the front of the diagonal beam. Press the window against the guide on the front quarterlite (spelling? :oops: ) and shut the window, now tighten the screws again.

To Fit the window against the top seal, there is a screw on the regulator frame, lower the window slightly and turn the screw, now check the window against the top seal.

How I wish I'd have taken photos! :mad:

very handy:

Driver side window cacthing roof,hitting top of quater ever so slightly..with this is mind:

MAke sure the window is square with quater glass then tighten A screws..

once its all square there go for the B screw to adjust the amount the window travels up..

The thing im worried about here is once ive adjusted it to miss my roof it wont have a very solid water-seal.

ONCE it stops raining il take a look

Cheers
