Hi,

The new rubbers I have to fit to the convertible roof frame over side windows is really tight and will put way too much pressue on the windows.
Rear windows, pressing down way too much.

I have rebuilt this car so this is the first time back together, they may even not be the originals, when I got it there were no rubbers or very perished.

There does not seem to be anymore downward movement adjustment for the rear wind up windows so do I need to work out where or how to raise the metal roof frame a bit... or unless i have missed where to make further window adjustments to lower the whole frame.

Rear is the problem, fronts are controlled by how much they wind up.

I will get some pictures up but I'm hoping someone out there will give me a clue why it is so tight.
thanks in advance,
PG
