im having some problems with getting my rear quater windows to role up all the way.... i installed new weather stripping and the works on omy car and i dont know (since the car im restoring never had that stuff on it to begin with) if the windows were lined up correctly in the first place.... when there was nuthing around the wondows (weather stripping and such on the sides and on the top the went up but now it seems as if as soon at it gets up to the top where the weather stripping is it doent wanna hit that grove in between and go up any further.....im thinking that i need to take my door panals off and adjust that stuff because when i look at it from the side it looks as if its going up at to much of an anglein-ward.... im not completely sure where to start with this to correct it..so if any one has any insight as to what i should or could do or how to even adjust the stuff on the inside behind the the panal and which ones to adjust i would appreciate any thoughts
thanks
matt

Sounds like you need to remove the "door" panel. The brackets that the window rollers ride in have adjustment screws so that the window can be adjusted in or out at both the top and bottom of the brackets. It takes a lot of trial and error to get the windows adjusted. It's not difficult to do or even to figure out how to do it, it just takes some time.
