Windows won't line up on my Convertible

marcfiebka · August 5th, 2007, 05:13 PM

Bought the car in April of 06 (used). After a while the driver's side window just decided to stop lining up with the top frame and it has a small gap in between the top and the window. Just rcently it started doing it on my passenger side. WTF? Anyone know how to fix this or should I just take it to someone who's probably gonna fuck me?

yeah, do you drive the car hard? if so it's caused from the body twisting you should get some subframe connectors so it'll stop the twisting of the chassis... the dealership fixed a gap in my window by pushing it over, and told me to put the rear windows up first then the front ones so they align correctly... I got it done under warranty so who knows what they'll charge you I'd try to move it around myself but not too forceful... be careful not to break the window because they break easy lol...

I had a similar problem in my coupe. what it was is that on the bottom of the glass is a stop bracket glued to the window. The glue wore off and the window was coming out of a line. Just pop your door panel off and look at the 3 brackets on the glass., if they are loose there is your problem. And the only fix is to get a carlite window. I tried all kinds of glue and nothing held longer than a month. Good luck
