V8 Vantage side window adjustment
Discussion
When I dropped my car off at Bamford Rose, the initial walk-round inspection immediately spotted that the passenger side window had dropped at the front. They said they would sort it, but it didn’t get done.
I don’t think it’s a reset issue, as the glass drops correctly when the door is opened.
Any ideas how to lift the glass by the 2-3mm required? It’s only at the front - the rear is fully lifted.

Interior handle off.
Align screws on clamps with the plugged holes in the door card.
DON'T drop the Torx Bit from the end of the driver
Adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust, check, adjust.
Get bored, put it all back together.
Back how it was....

OK - I'm a bit confused....Align screws on clamps with the plugged holes in the door card.

I took the door card off (want to stop the squeaking and find the source of the water ingress) but I still can't see where to loosen / adjust in order to get the front edge of the glass to lift slightly - can someone point me in the right direction please?
UPDATE - sorted! Some more Googling found this old PH thread from 2013 - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=13...
I needed to drop the window glass about halfway to get to the torx screw - all sorted now.
