ALCON, replaced my rubber last year, had heck of a time ajusting. Then looked at the assembly manual I had. It outlines completely the installation and ajustment. Basically says lossen all bolts and window stops, with door closed, raise window set glass at desired location. You can accually move the window around to exactly where you want it. From inside the car retighten stops and bolts. Just be careful it dosen't bind when you raise it or when you close the door. Just my two cents, thanks.

Thank you all for the help. I do have the AIM and the Service Manual and even a Haynes. The problem comes up when you run out of adjustment room as per the instructions and it still hits the pillar.
I will keep toying with it and see what happens. At least it is Winter and the 75 sees little outside time.
Thank you all again.

fast, when you losen the bolts inside you can rotate the glass, move side to side and ajust your stops where you need them. Wish I was close by I'd drop by and do it for ya, I'm a Arkansas guy too rased in Stuttgart and live in Little Rock west side not to far from Benton, take care thanks.

Oh the joys of window adjustments.
After my car was painted we replaced all the weatherstripping which is definitely not as pliable as the OEM stuff was. Then we set the window glass back in the doors and set the windows to the original settings we had marked before disassembly.
Well it didn't work. We either had binding issues or it would hit the pillar. After numerous trial and error attempts, it is finally close to being perfect. Even with a new power window motor installed on the passenger side it lacks closing completely by about a 1/16". But if the door is open it will go up that little bit. I then have to assist the top portion of the glass inward as I close the door so it won't stick out on the outside of the weatherstripping. I think if the weatherstripping was soft like the OEM was, window adjustment would be much easier.
Good luck to all with their window adjustment!
