Driver side window gap

What do I adjust to take up this window gap? The passenger side also seems to roll up too far and bang at the top, How do I adjust that as well? I already have the door panels off. Thanks in advance.

Yikes! How did they ever get that bad? Were they pulled out for some reason?

Anyway, faily easy, but will take some figiting and patience. Take off the inner door panel to expose the shell.

The bolts highlighted in light blue basically will allow you to adjust the window toward the front or back of the car. Loosen the bolts and slide the track which ever way is required.

The bolts highlighted in green will allow you to adjust the window in towards the car or away (the angle of the window). That is basically accomplished by adjusting the black triangle filler plate at the front of the window. Make sure it fits snug in the weather stripping when the door closes (no gaps and aligned right). If memory serves, the top bolt gives most of the in and out adjustment.

The bolts in yellow allow you to adjust the height of the window, front back or both. The back end (near the handle) where the yellow cicle is, there is a metal stop hidden in the track in there with one bolt to loosen.

You can also adjust the horizontal track which I didn't show but usually should be ok.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info. I have no idea how it got that way. I just got the car and it was that way. The window is loose and moves to the front and to the rear of the car a bit. I also think a roler is bad in a track.
