How do you adjust the rear quarter glass? Mine hits conv rubber

I have power windows and as strange as it sounds the rear windows all of a sudden are binding on the rubber from the conv top. I don't know if they always hit but the motor is now going such that it can't power it past, or if there is some adjustment that has changed. But the top rear of the glass needs to go out over 1/2" as it goes up. See pics.

1) how do you adjust the glass?
2) Do the electric motor's just get weaker when they start to go? I was thinking the motor would either work or it wouldn't

Thx!

I doubt it's your motor. It looks like one of the rollers on the glass hopped the channel.

Full instructions for removing, installing, and aligning all of your glass are in the Fisher Body Manual, available free on WildAboutCars, in case you don't have one yet (though it's very wise to have a paper copy as well).

I have the Fisher body manual and adjustment procedures are not really there. Basic remove and replace glass instructions. At least I'm not finding it helpful.

Hmmmm... Yeah, I just looked, and there's less in there than I remember.

You kind of have to read the brief "Adjustments" paragraphs and look at the pictures to see which parts can get moved which way to get the glass to go the way you want it to.

I'm still concerned that one roller may be off, though.

Has your top adjustment changed? Do the front windows contact properly? Both rear windows at the same time loosing proper fit is suspect if I am reading your thread right. check the top.
