Its been a long time since visiting but I've put other projects aside and trying to fix some sins on the 68 vert committed during its restoration. Due to a sticking door latch i got stuck inside the car. So after removing the door panel and other bits i found the triggering device. Half a can of PB blaster and now some grease puts that to rest. But i never liked the way the door glass and rear quarter window lined up so began adjusting. Needless to say i found a bad drivers door regulator was part of the problem. Disovered this when i noticed the pass side glass was firmly set but drivers glass rocked back and forth. New regulator installed but still the alignment between the pieces of glass wasn't working until i stepped back and actually got inside the car. Its not the fault of the door, glass or installer. I found that the convertible top side rails sag slightly.
If I unlatch the top, roll the window completely up all my glass lines up and the glass tucks up into the pocket of the gasket. The slight sag causes the roof rail gasket to prevent the door from shutting correctly if the glass is in the up position. The top frame was completely restored by me piece by piece and reassembled. I'm trying to remember if there is any sort of adjustment that can be made to put some tension into the side rail to prevent the sag. There are no issues with bushings at the hinge. Any help would be appreciated.
