my understanding is that there is a limit set on how far the window rolls up. I have a Fisher manual somewhere. I'll look for that page...

I think you may be right here. My original glass would only roll up so far and would never seat correctly in the seal because of that reason.

there are adjustable stops at the bottom of the track. you can actually take them off and the windows will go up much too far.

If I remember right (which I'm almost positive that do), besides all the track adjustments, there are also two round discs at the front and rear of the glass that help push the bottom of the window against the seal as they get near the top. these use a special tool to remove. in my car they were different size front to back, so I could interchange them and make the front push in tighter than the back

My Camaro has shaved door handles, so this really becomes a PIA when it needs to be done. I thought I had them "close enough", because with 3" pipes going into 2 chamber Flowmasters that have dumps sitting just behind the front seats, wind noise is never an issue

what became an issue, was at the end last year on the Northeast Rod Run, I went into one of those touchless highpressure car washes. BIG MISTAKE!!!

I must have had over 1" of water on my floors I'm going to have to re-address that in the spring. adjusting windows suck!

Thanks guys---guess I will soldier on and dive into it tomorrow and see what happens. My glass is still original on these two windows in question (could stand to be changed, but after reading the fitment issues, perhaps not) and I will see what I can do and try not to get to crazy with it. Maybe I should google the topic once before I start---
