my information tells me that Chim and Griff door windows are the same, but that could be wrong.

You know the window closed height is adjustable? Possibly by as much as an inch. Maybe it's just in need of serious alignment.

Start by making sure the door is properly aligned, if it’s dropped on its hinges, then that makes up part of the gap.

Check the seal on the roof panel is correct and replace if necessary.

It may be that the problem is the sum of several small problems.

When everything else is right, the adjustment should be enough to get it right.
