Roof Adjustment
« on: 27 October 2011, 06:48:03 AM »

I have a problem with my passenger door closing. The window catches on the rubber weather strip on the edge of the roof and it pushes the window out. Opening and closing the window slightly and it re-seats correctly under the rubber strip as per the drivers side.
On close inspection it looks to me as if the roof on that side is slightly lower adjusting it so it sits higher when closed could solve my door problem. Is it possible to make adjustments to how the roof sits when closed and if so how is it done.

Many thanks

you have to open the roof half way so u gain access to adjustment screws that are located around pivot points where the first section of the roof looking from the front of the car folds..right above the door windows..one screw on each side they should be trox screws......tightening a screw will make that side of the roof settle lower and tighter and loosing it up will make it sit on the glass more straight and higher...this might help you..just remember that if you loosen it up to much it might leave some gaps on the window seals and water might sip thru..if that does not help you probably will have to work around window regulator to adjust the max height of the glass and its tillt..which is a little pain in the ass

what you need to do is adjust the window not the roof.
if you dont have evidence that the roof has been replaced or tampered with then dont touch it.
when i got my cab i had a similar problem but the window was low instead.
take off the door panel and there are screws to adjust the tilt of the window(end where door shut is, torx screw) also there is two bolts high up to adjust the tilt front to back but most important which is not easy to see is a bolt that is the height stop adjustment somewhere in the middle of the door thats what u need, if you have a little play whith all of them you will get there after a few attempts.
what you want is when you go to shut the door the window top edge just touches the rubber seal right below the overhanging flap on the seal just before the door catch touches then when you shut the door it sits nice and tight on the seal and when the door shuts it pushes the window up on the seal.
good luck.
