    Window/Top interference

    My windows hit the top on both sides. If I just close the door with the windows up, they catch the top and will not properly close. I have to hold the edge of the top up and then close the door. It's an inconvenience, but mainly I'm worried about wear and fraying on the edge of the top.

    I've thought that maybe the answer lies in window adjustment downwards, but the top edge of the window already leaks a little in the rain and I'm afraid any downward movement will increase the leak.

    Here are images of what happens when I close the door without holding the edge up and then an image of the wear that's taking place.

    I fixed this issue on mine and you are absolutely correct. What you need to do is adjust the height of the window a tiny bit and it will fix the issue:

      The door window has 2 adjusters so you can tweak the angle as well as the height. First make it parallel to the seal keeping an eye on the front to rear glass joint, then fine tune the height. You may need to adjust the rear window as well to keep them lined up

      My work around is to close the door by gently pushing the top corner of the glass. It does have enough flex to sneak under the seal. Getting in I lower it a tad before I close the door. A bit of a pain but it will get you by
