I just installed a new 914Rubber window seal the vertical one. It just does not make a complete seal the full height of the window. The seal slides into the nice chrome piece and the ribs hold it on. Is the chrome how it is adjusted to give you a tight seal. The slotted holes are maxed out already and I have a gap at the bottom.
 Am I going to have to ream out the slotted holes in the chrome holder? Is the window adjustable? |

Window is adjustable in all directions. Kinda odd window should be out that much, if anything it should have been tight. Make sure it is not hitting at the top and pushing out the bottom.

So i need to remove the door card etc... and adjust the window and the regulator? The drivers side is more Fubar than this one. I don't remember doing much if anything to the windows when i had it torn down. Once i got it running, i was ready to DRIVE. Guess i should have cause now i got new seals and still got air leaks. Maybe water too. |

Try the screw (that has a nut on it) at the bottom of the door. It should close the gap nicely. You want it to just touch.

Mark I believe you mean this one on the passenger door. It is attached to the front rail that the window moves up and down in. It is in a slotted hole and in a position to adjust without removing the door card. not sure how adjusting the front will seal the rear.  These 2 are connected to the rear rail, are in slotted holes and can be tinkered with without removing the door card (something to remember for next time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) . I think I will try these 2 1st.  Are the above 2 spots the only adjustment locations?  There seems to be 2 other adjustments: Currently in the middle hole just behind the crank is a bolt that is acting as a STOP. As you crank up the stop hits the gear and stops the window. The other one I am not so sure about. You can barely see a white rectangle there is a bolt on it, but does not appear to be in a slotted hole. Not sure what it would do anyway. |
