Excellent! I don’t know what’s worse, adjusting these windows or replacing the heater core. I haven’t even thought about the motor mounts! Thanks for the video, I hope to achieve similar results with out cutting the heck out of my hands.
Awesome video I changed my windows awhile back and did not know any of those adjustments. They have closed bad ever ever since. I am going to go back and adjust the windows right. Thank you for making this video.
So glad I found this video! I have a 71 Camaro that both windows are out of wack! Body shop quoted a small fortune to align. I built the whole car and the windows were probably the hardest part to get correct! Thanks
WOW! Amazing! Will adjust my doors tomorrow thanks to you! I was looking to order weatherseal kits because I thought that was th issue, but you just saved me 500$+. Very helpful and guiding video! Thank you so much!
Just bought a new glass for my Camaro. Had marked the positions of all the bolts/nuts but the new window was really a mess at those adjustments. About ready to send it back but your video saved the day. Had to change everything quite a bit. Good video, clear and easy to follow. Thanks!
I currently have a problem where the top of the window clips the blowout tab. I'm thinking tilting the window in should fix that problem as it is just contacting the upper seal. I want to stress, while making any of these adjustments, first close the door till the latch just catches the striker (door will be partially open by 3/8" to 1/2" or so at this point), then lightly push against door with your body (watch belt buckles rivets on jeans etc!) and ensure that the rear edge of the window does not hit chrome molding (not on all car, usually on cars with rain gutters), also check it at A pillar. These windows have quite a bit of adjustability and they can be moved enough to hit metal parts of the car which can ruin your window and your day. Take your time. I recently replaced all the glass in my 72 Z28 and (not a promotion) Auto City Glass makes a very nice quality product, packaging of the glass was outstanding, I did remove each piece and check condition before delivery driver left, took about 15 minutes. Everything fit nicely. I did have front and back installed by Arrow Auto Glass (offices in most states on eastern seaboard of US) with urethane (as it should be no mastic tape that is not how factory did it-they used a Thiokol product in the 60's and 70's). Well worth the money (like $100-$125 each piece of glass) for the install.
@@cwmotorsports4497 also, check to see if the window bolts are loose or if it came out of the track. It’s hard to say but if you take the door panel off you could see if something is loose in there.
if adjusted right window will not hit the trim. if your door drops or you can lift it noticeably when open you need new door pins and bushings in them. cheap kit
Theres a ring on the striker that I think is designed to pull the door up a bit once you close it. Otherwise the window would hit the frame when you close the door.

It was a lot easier than I thought. Just too about 45 minutes
way easier than heatercore

I’m at a stand still right now. I’m waiting for back ordered parts :(

You’re a pro! That’s some great advice. And yeah those window assemblies are expensive so take your time and do it right

How about power windows? Are there additional adjustments?
I am honestly not sure about power windows.
Hey. Thanks for the video. The top of my window has a lot of play and I can not adjust it out. Do you think it’s the regulator?
It could be. Could also be the felts on th bottom as well.
@@BackyardGarage1 thanks so much. I will check those. It’s a lot of play and the passenger side is normal. Great channel by the way!!!!

I c ur getting close 2 1k subs good 4 u brotha.
Thanks Adam
Do the doors actually drop/sag about a half inch so the window can clear all the trim while it’s being opened/closed?
I think they say a bit till they hit the striker yes
if adjusted right window will not hit the trim. if your door drops or you can lift it noticeably when open you need new door pins and bushings in them. cheap kit

Almost at the big 1k Subscribers!
So close
My window kinda goes inward
Have to adjust the bottom tabs inward as well. Should fix it
good job!
Thank you!
