Can ayone tell me if its possible to adjust the windows to sit inside and under the roof? Thanks in advance Hi Waterhouse, Welcome to the forum. It is not possible to adjust the windows so that they sit inside the roof.... you would then not be able to open the doors, and close, with windows up. The glass when wound up should sit tight against the fabric of the softop.Then there is the rubber trim that sits inside of glass, this can be adjusted slightly so it touches the glass when fully wound up. There is possible adjustment of the glass but you will need to remove the door panel and have a fidle. How close is the glass to the rake of the windscreen pillar? If you are able to post a picture that would be a great help. Cheers Guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 It is possible to adjust the glass inwards a bit but its a very fiddly job. Take the door trim board off and you will see where the runners are bolted to the frame. the idea is to shim the runners outwards towards the door skin at the lower ends so the top will come in towards the hood. Loosen all the mounting bolts slightly and then remove the bottom two on the runners and insert more washers between the bracket and the inner frame. You wont get much but it may be enough to close the gap up. Stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to report both windows now snug to roof. Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
