Adjusting windows
Discussion
On the griff itwas possible to adjust the glass up or down a few mm using a screw on the glass support. You could just see it with the window fully up and poking a scredriver in the rain channel.
Is there something similar on a Tuscan? Had a quick look and can't see anything obvious. I want to lift my passenger glass by about 1mm to form a better seal.

I had this problem with mine.
Everytime I went to the local Polak car wash up the road the high pressure jets showered anyone sat on the passenger seat with spray due to their being a few millimetres of gap between the top of the window and seal. Amusing as it was thought I'd best sort it.
Had to take the inside door panel off using a flexible screwdriver with a hexagonal/ allen bit on the end. Peel the plastic of the door lining off and get to the 2 brackets that hold the window in place and act as the mechanism to move it up and down.
This clamps to the window with 2 more hexagonal allen screws (same as the ones in the Door Card) by loosening them in both brackets you can move the window slightly.
Be warned though! it can be a pain in the arse getting it to sit right, my passenger one is now fine but I played with the drivers one too and now I get wet everytime I go to the car washing place as I got a gap of about 3mm I just cant seem to sort out!

A touch more complex I guess but I think the biggest drawback is time consumption.
Allow an hour to sort it and if you are lucky that will be enough. On the other hand I was out there for over 2 hours due to problems with the drivers side not sealing shut. I came to the conclusion of sod it, do it another time!
