Maybe I can post a photo to explain this better, but the side glass doesn't go high enough to seal to the rubber. I have new seals rom 914 Rubber, but the glass doesn't go high enough to fit right. I know I can adjust the window to raise higher, but then it will go above the rubber stop on top of the crome guide that holds in the wing glass. The chrome trip is held in place by a bolt in the base of the door and another inside the door. It doesn't adjust up and down. Tell me where I have this adjustment out of wack. Could it be that the rubber seal needs to be thicker. Should I have a filler between the seal and the targa top?

Hi, Post a few pictures of your door....specifically look at it near the front and rear. Think about how raising the door would affect your alignment... If you raise the door, it feels better when closing....it almost falls closed. You need to remove the window channel, or tip it way out to raise up the door properly...but we are talking about 1/4 of an inch...which you can adjust out of the window guide. Its a really funky geometry...356 and 914 have this same condition...and I suspect 911 does also... Rich |
