Default Targa Seals / Window Adjustment

So I've noticed very MINOR leaks while driving in the rain and such.

And when I wash my car, I can see the water / soap go about half way down the seal where the window is - ALMOST getting inside, but not quite making it.

Did some searchin' found some stuff on how to lube up the seals and such.

Then I saw some people saying stuff about adjusting windows.

My question is, how to adjust my windows to make it tighter, and what all I should be doin' to maintain these seals - as I have never done it.

Thanks for any help

when you take the door panels off, you'll see some sort of plastic screw in one of the corner of the door. That screw is the "window stopper". Raise it so the window goes higher. The plastic screw stripped on mine, so I took the whole assembly up(there is a metal screw that hold the plastic one agains the door frame).

Look at page 28 in the file I sent you.

I also would suggest rolling down the window, and with the door open, put your knee on the inner door panel and pull very hard on the corner window as to bend it in some. That will tighten up the corner seal which is the heaviest leaker. Do not be afraid to pull hard, is you are too much of a ***** to bend it, it will still leak when you are done.
