Window adjustment, Can this gap be closed ? Options

[jim_hoyland]

There is a 3/8” gap between the front edge of the glass and the targa top rubber seal.
Car is a ‘75
Can the the glass be adjusted to close this gap ? How.

My 73 is an October 72 car and seems to have been born before a lot of switching over:

- Late doors with scissor lifts and no reinforcement bars
- Aluminum threshold plates
- Early window cranks
- Silver dot instruments
- bright metal windshield washer nozzles


Never heard of a 73 with cable lifts....how much earlier than October 72 did they make 73's?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Getting back to the original problem I have also struggled with the window parts not lining up. I have made many adjustments and pretty much gave up and purchased one of Perry's umbrella covers if it has to sit out in the rain. And have been carrying a towel. Long before Arthur Dent.

I was hoping this thread would come up with the Ultimate Answer to this problem.

My '73 had a build date of 9/72 #2387 and is the same as above.

also early rain tray, gas cap and probably other things.

Alan Caldwell had an early 73 2-liter that he ordered new. The transmission was a side-shifter with a tail-shift end-cone.

When my side shifter trans was done Dr. Evil noticed that the syncro bits were early parts. same as in the tail shifters
