Front door glass adjustment

[darth_linux]

The front door glass on the passenger side of my 66 Newport is about a half inch lower in the rear and then it is in the front. I didn’t see anything in the FSM about adjusting that. Does anyone have any insight on how that can be remedied? The gap creates wind noise and allows water to leak in . . .

What does the vent frame to a-pilar gap look like?

It’s about 3/8 of an inch at the top and bottom. Seems to be even all the way from the top to the bottom.

Stand back from the car 8-10' and look at that a-pillar gap.
The only adjustment to get the top of the glass parallel to the roof is to rotate the vent frame in the door (or the full door).

Ok, I"ll read the FSM about tweaking the vent frame. There's a lot of play in the whole assembly. I can move the glass up and down about a half inch and the regulator parts go with it. Could be wear in the whole thing allowing it to sag.
