Is it a early 70-72 car or later because the doors were different.

If it's a later door, when you remove the panel, you will see on the window mechanism a 10mm bolt acting as a stopper for height and that you can play with. I think it,s covered in every reference manual such as the Haynes.

If it's early, sorry I don't know, but someone will.

it's the late door then...

take the door pocket off, pull the plastic off of the window handle, unscrew the screw, pull the crank, pull the pad (carefully--there are plastic tab thingies that could get pulled out of the board) and you'll see the 8mm (or 10mm) bolt upside down...actually i believe it's double nutted, you can't miss it...

use the crank to lower and raise the window....

while you're in there, i did some lubing of the track and what-not with some lithium grease....

OH and check the plastic door cam...
