Side window adjustment how-to vid

Hey all. Made this quick vid after spending all day aligning my side window. Seemed like no good visual how-to's existed so I made this quick vid to hopefully help some people out. I know I MUCH prefer visuals over just writing when trying to see how something is done.

Re: Side window adjustment how-to vid

good info. My wifes vert needs done badly. And ive been dreading messing with it.


I broke my triangle a while back. spent an hour or so trying to adjust it. Id get it almost perfect, then it would geek the window one direction or another. I didn't mess with the rear adjustments like in your vid tho.

While I was adjusting everything, it seemed the front triangle piece is more or less a guide to keep the front of the window in place rather than something that offers any real adjustment. The rear track however is the heavy duty piece and that makes a noticeable difference in the adjustments. After my experience, I'd always start with the rear track and then get everything else fine tuned in after. That method worked out great in my case.
