Vette(s): 1982 Silver Green

I have an 82 silver green vette and while I have been under the car more than I have been in it, now that its on the road I have considerable wind noise at the top rear corner of the side windows. While the weatherstripping seems in good condition there isn't enough contact to form a tight seal. Is this a problem with the window mechanism in the door not putting enough pressure against the rubber or is it something to do with the T-top?

Most likely a winder adjustment, skyhi. There are many ways to adjust them, but....only one way will actually work. Unfortunately, I haven't found it!

If you have the factory service manual, it gives a good procedure for the adjustments. There have been several articles in some of the Corvette mags on it, also. I have tried to get the winders on my '74 adjusted for years. I got 'em close...

Anyone out there got a sure-fire way to adjust the winders properly
