    convertible window adjustment issue

    The passenger side front window on my vert is all out of whack. The top edge does not line up with the weather stripping at all, in fact the front end sits about 3/4" lower than the back. I can adjust the window stops to get the back to seal correctly, but I'm left with a big gaping hole near the front. i've tried unbolting the window motor and rotating it, trying to get the top of the window level from front to back, but there isn't any adjustment to be made really. Had anyone encountered this before and fixed it? what did you do? I've spent hours on it and I am getting nowhere :hitler:

    Sounds like the window regulator has worn parts causing misalignment. Replace the regulator and it should be fine.
