Windows not meeting roof

[Chopper01]

Anyone got any ideas as to how I might get my windows to meet the rubber seal on my roof? There is a 5 mm gap between the top of the window and the rubber seal on the roof.

Cheers

It should meet the roof so something is not quite right. I added a rubber strip tp the top of the glass to give a better seal which eliminates wind noise, especially at the corners. I will post a pic tomorrow.

From time to time my Tam windows dont go right up. I use a silicon based spray (something like those dashboard spray products) and rub it onto the rubber seals each side of the window. Glass slides up easier and gets to the top. Not sure if your issue is the same, but might be worth a go.

I think theres a travel limit bolt in the window mech inside the doors (upper rail in the middle from memory) this may be maladjusted. Care needed as mine shattered a window from what appeared to be an incorrect setting allowing window to push into the roof when closed stressing the glass.

Yup silicon spray needed from time to time - also check seals are correctly seated. Mine does this occasionally if the seal sits a bit too proud.

If it has always done it then maybe needs the stop resetting.

My Tam had a 5mm gap at the rear of the drivers window where it met the roof. Several trips to the dealer reduced this to 2-3mm. The conclusion was that the hood was slightly out of true but "within manufacturing tolerance!"
Load of B/S but nothing to be done.
The residual gap allowed water ingress that made the car useless in the wet so I sold it.

..... Traded in for a T350c which was dry as a bone!
