Window adjustments 56 super 88 sedan 4door

Hello first timer here. Just acquired this 88 and looking for some advice. Both front door windows are pinching against the Bach door glass at the top when shutting. Was wondering if anyone has suggestions for adjusting these.

thanks in advance.

I installed new weatherstripping in my 71 98 and had to adjust the front and rear windows. I had both the Factory and Chassis Service Manuals but decided to take it to a local glass shop to have the adjustment done.

Does it have new weatherstrip? Easiest would be to move the rear glass rearward. Plan on a days work and if you finish early you did good.

It looks like the front window isn't even all the way up in the picture. You will have to remove the door panels and access panels in the doors to get them adjusted. If should be obvious how to move the windows forward/backward/tilt, etc. once you get in there. Looks like the door handles were shaved, so someone has been inside those doors quite a bit.

Welcome to the site!
Show us some more photos when you have a chance, looks to be a great looking car.
It would be difficult to explain the adjustments without any visual aids. It'll be worth your while to get the Service Manual, it has instructions in it showing how it's done.
