Default Need help

I tried google search and YouTube and I can’t seem to find the help on how to adjust my driver side window height .


long story short got my car back from body shop but now my window doesn’t fully go up properly and doesn’t sit flush with the oem hardtop. the back of the glass slightly sags .The window still goes fully down just not fully up the rear seems to be stuck somewhere if I hold the button up and pull on the glass it comes up but then goes back down a bit .

You can see the gap where it’s missing to go up it gets stuck in the front of it I am assuming .is there anyway to fix this ?i don’t think it’s the motor because it still goes up and down

I believe there's a little bit of play where the glass mounts to the window regulator. When I replaced my regulator I recall it having a little room for adjustment before tightening it down.

Is this for all years ?

Thank you again

When you pull the door card off you can see three holes in a kind of triangle shape where you can access the bolts holding the glass to the regulator. You'll have to lower the window to line up with those holes to loosen the bolts just a bit and then move the glass around and re-tighten.

Tha gap is huge. 1/2 "? Almost sure that there is something broken inside.
The window is screwed to the electric mechanism. This is done with screws with big plastic washers / Distance pieces. Maybe one is broken or just a screw is loose.

Here is a picture. The huge gap is in my opinion a sign that some screws are loose or missing. Probably Nr. 26 or 24.
Remove the door panel and have a look... And yes, i also HATE to work on this kind of stuff.
