could anyone help with the following problem.having noticed my drivers door was becoming difficult to shut lightly i thought id adjust the striker.before adjustment the door striker was entering the latch at the very lowest possible point.now ive made the door shut easier by raising the striker,the top of the door glass does not quite meet the roof seal.this causes annoying noise when on the move.the glass itself looks to be at correct height comparing to quarterlight and if i adjusted its hight travel then i would have a gap above the quarterlight.am i overlooking something obvious?any help greatly appreciated

You can adjust the door glass height - simple!

It will take a screwdriver and a little patience to find the adjusting screw at about the middle of the door underneath the rubber brush covering thingy.

Edited to say, at least I think that's what you need to do and observe that my level of communication is cr@p innit! Doh!!

Ah!

Is it that much out then? You've got me there - I'll have to defer to greater minds!

at this point in time i cant see my griff to say anything too specific,but i can remember looking at top of glass and thinking that its dead level with top of quarterlight.therefore.if i raise glass now,then it will create a gap above quarterlight.i had an annoying whistle on my chimp from this and the gap was only ever-so-slight.im a bit paranoid of this happening again as the griff has been really quiet until now!hope this explains better?
