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?

OK, so the glass is supposed to fit between the flap and the main profile. Got it.
So judging by the pictures, he needs to take off the door panel, and adjust the window stop so the glass goes higher. There's an M6 cap screw (10mm hex) with a jam nut that stops the window when it's rolled up all the way, so he'll need to screw that in to get it set to the correct height. He may also have to adjust the tilt which is at the bottom of the door, with a 13mm hex jam nut on a slotted stud. Then he may have to move the seal channel on the roof outboard a little so the glass fits in the groove properly. |
