electric window alignment for 1958 HT

[jeff f]

Anybody out there claim to be a window guru? Three out of the four windows work well. I'll be trouble shooting the elctrical this weekend. The manual is pretty vague - with some rather bad diagrams - on how to adjust the windows so that they come up straight and pinch the weatherstripping correctly. I am adding new rubberon all the doors and windows, plus the nylon rollers, but was curious if there's any inside scoop on making the alignment a bit easier.

Jeff,
I'm no guru,and my car is a 60.
For the door windows, mine has a "plug" at the back side of the Door that, when removed, reveals a nut. After being loosened, you can slide the rail, in or out, as required.
The Rear Quarter Window, I believe, you need to remove the Arm Rest Panel. That should expose a screw with a lock nut, at the bottom, adjacent to the Jamb. If you screw this clockwise, or counter clockwise it will swing the window in or out. If you loosen the locknut, you can make an up or down adjustment.
I hope this might be of some assisstance to you.
Mike
