Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I recently had my 02 S conv. top and frame replaced with another that had a glass window. The frame is a 3 bow just like what I took off. I have a slight air leak/whistle where the weatherstripping meets the window towards the back. Is there any adjustment in the weatherstripping that would allow it to push out towards the glass ? I'm thinking .010 would do it. The weatherstripping that is on the top/frame is in good shape, compliant to the touch with no visible damage. Any help is appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Hey Reufers; It may be your window regulator just needs adjustment. There are 2 plugs on bottom of door you can remove to expose the adjustment screws. Loosen and you can slide in or out to adjust the angle the window contacts the weatherstrip. Hope this helps.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Great tip thanks I will try that.
