In the process of replacing the all of the weather-stripping on my 75 coupe, I have come up with a problem with the right door and window.  The windows are electric and since I replaced the weather-stipping, the window will not raise to the top of the channel.  I lacks about 1/4 of an inch.  The other problem, is the door will not close with the window up.  The leading edge of the window hits the lower edge of the pillar channel.  It looks like the previous owner had the same problem because of the marks and dents in the chanel.  I tried moving the window to the rear of the car, but all of the adjustment of the C bolts is taken up. The window will raise all the way when the door is open, so it is not the window stops.
Please help, I am at the end of my patience.
Thank you,
LeoConfused

I had the same problem too. Took a while but got the window adjusted so it does not hit anything. The only problem now is with the right door window seal. The rear edge of the glass does not seal well. May need to go back in and try some more fiddlingWink
