Adjusting windows

Recently I rebuild my doors with new pins cam rollers etc... While at it I added power window kits and new rubber on the driver's side top and bottom and bottom on the passenger side.

Well, now I've got a brutal wind noise on the driver's side. When I close the door I can see on the outside it doesn't seal like it should, along the top and front, Unless I close it pushing (only) at the very rear top corner of the window then it seals fine.

With me inside I've had my wife close it for me and take a ride, no wind noise.

SO has anyone adjusted the window to roll up tighter?

Re: Adjusting windows

It can be done, here is a link to the how-to section that has a write up on it. If you don't like that one there are a ton of other threads if you search around.

Hey thanks man, I will check that out. I did look a fare amount but found lots that were pretty pretty old and not specific.

Re: Adjusting windows

You got it, there is some pretty good info in that how to section that I have used before. A factory service manual is also really handy with these cars.

Let us know how you make out with that adjustment.
