the windows on my s13 coupe dont seal all the way on the b-pillar side there is a very thin crack that wistles at high speeds and lets water in when washing it. the top of my drivers side window also dosent seal all the way, for some reason, it gets stuck on that little lip of the black window trim piece that goes over the top of the window, and i have to kind of pop it in when the door is shut or push it back as im closing the door to get it to seal up at the top. i saw in 240sx.org faq that there were bolts that needed to be adjusted inside the door, but before i started pulling stuff apart i wanted to see if anyone else had any input on this.thanks

I had this problem when my power window cable broke on my drivers side. After replacing it, and made sure the cable was tight, it now is good.

Take your door apart and make sure the cable is tight, if there is any slack in the cable then this could be the problem.

Good luck,

Pull door panel...the two bolts that hold the glass to the metal mechanism is slightly adjustable.
