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?
Click to view attachment Click to view attachmentIt looks like your window is not adjusted to it's maximum height. But it also looks like your triangle-window isn't either. I don't think there should be that large of a gap between your triangle-window and the main targa seal. Your window should also be able to roll all the way up to the top of the triangle-window seal, so the top of the window is the same height as the black triangle window seal on the door. Yours is not.
I used the same 914rubber main targa seal and side seals on my old 72 (same regulator style as yours), and they sealed the car up perfectly.
Do you have a picture of your seals/window interface ?
Here are some additional measurements as it sits mal-adjusted:
From the door vertically it is 14-3/8" inches in the front

And 14-3/16" in the back
Click to view attachment looks like I need 1/4 to 5/16" taller to fit into the top groove in Mikey's redesigned rubber.
What are the top up measurements of other members cars ?
Furthermore the window is absolutely tight against the new triangle window seal which allows for no further travel upwards.
Click to view attachment I did notice that the front window frame has a small plate that can be adjusted up or down about 1/4"effectively raising the front of the window by 1/4".
Click to view attachment Click to view attachment I'm not sure if this will solve the sag in the rear end. I did notice that the clamp that holds the bottom of the window could probably be shimmed fairly easily by adding some butyl or maybe 3M tape.
I'll try this weekend and post the results .
