Need help adjusting weatherstrip on Convertible

I have a 92 Z ragtop... Today is the first time in almost 4 years that it has seen a LOT of rain... On both sides at the back of the side windows at the top corners there is a leak.. Anyone know how to adjust either the window or the top weatherstrip to correct this??

Thanks

Look in the "technical articles" section on the main menu for the article on how to adjust window heighth. There's an adjustment bolt behind the door panel that controls the upstop. If your window is not going all the way up this could help. That, and keeping the weatherstripping greased up so it doesn't dry out and shrink up.

Troy,
There is really no adjustment of the weather strip. The windows need to be adjusted some. I have been playing with my 89 RS and got them to seal better. My 92 leaks also, but it doesn't see much rain.
I have a registry of the 1254 1992 Z28 convertibles built.
Could you e-mail me the following?
VIN
Color/interior color/type
Heritage Y/N? Cass or CD
ASC build date (sticker on driver side door)
auto or 5spd.
I'd like to add your convertible to the registry.
Thanks
