Babyblue 78Ok I normally only drive the C3 in the summer so the T tops are always off and the windows are always down. I tried years ago to get the windows to align so I could bring them all the way up and T-tops on it would be water proof. I never could get them the right way. My mechanic says to get suction cups and put the window where it fits the T-tops rubber and then use 4 of them to hold it in ostion. Tighten the screws and that should work. If I remember correctly there are like at least 4 sections where yo need to align and tighten in a certain order to get it perfect.
Anyone who had done this lately and has a checklist or insider tips on getting this done once and for all?
Thanks,

F4GaryDo you have the AIM and Service Manual?
I had to put new nylon rollers in the door window regulator to fix my problem on 1980. What a pain, you have to remove the window and regulator to replace those rollers and I to have a helper to hod the regulator on to of the vise to get the old ones out and install the new ones because they are bradded in ( no bolt) and you have to be careful not to brad the them too tight. May not be your issue but on my 1980 only the drivers side had this issue, probably from more use. As for adjustment I don't know the sequence I just kept running the window up an down an making small adjustments untill I got it functional. As for waterproof I don't think you'll ever see that happening but mine only leaks when I wash the car and not going down the road. Good luck.

When I restored my 75 I relied on the Factory Assembly Manual. The manual is a great resource for part numbers, torque specs, and adjustment procedures. I have included the 3 pages from the 1978 Manual that should help you!
