After installing my windows and re-conditioning the 1970 roll-up mechanism last year and adding some new 914 rubber all the way around, I have two persistent gaps where the window does not seat into the top rubber. The body is straight, does not sag and the door gaps and door height are all aligned and uniform so it is not the body. How do I adjust these gaps?

After installing my windows and re-conditioning the 1970 roll-up mechanism last year and adding some new 914 rubber all the way around, I have two persistent gaps where the window does not seat into the top rubber. The body is straight, does not sag and the door gaps and door height are all aligned and uniform so it is not the body. How do I adjust these gaps? I had a similar problem at the windshield (front edge of the side window. That gap is particularly troublesome because water drips right there and onto your knee when it rains. I solved the problem by taking some black window insulation that I bought at Lowe's. It has a flat side with adhesive tape. To keep the profile I threaded a coat hangar into the open slot and bent it to the inside windshield frame. The vent window closes into this space. The insulation is soft enough to give when the door is closed and fill the gap. If this is helpful to you, let me know and I'll send a picture. |
