Side windows not alligned correctly

[McKoval]

Hi there
So the problem is that my driver side winbdow does not allign with the seal correctly in the area of lower 1/3 of B-pillar
the problem occours either with softtop and hardtop
so the easiest solution would be to allign the window to sit "deeper" in the seal, but the bmw service manual says nothing about adjusting this dimension of window alignment

my former Barchetta had ragulators which you could regulate in dimensions front-rear up-down and in-out
so, anyone on here with experieence in window alignment?

in the B it took my about two days to get a grip of how it all works, and since then I had windows alligned perfectly but those firs hundred attempts were a PITA
is it the same with the Z?

Dobry Wieczor. I have heard that their are two screws on the bottom of the door for adjusting the window. I also have a similar problem with my window. I have not got round to sorting it in my car. I can hear the sound of the wind rushing through a gap when driving at higher speeds.

I've had the same problem with mu left window since the actuator snapped. I've reinstalled a new actuator and realigned the window which you can do after you have gained access behind the door card and sound deadening foam. There is a bracket attached to the window which has height and angle adjustment. I have been able to adjust the height with no problem, however the angle inwards to the seal is difficult. As per the second post, the next thing to do is try those two screws on the bottom of the door, actually makes sense, position them as far away as they can go to the outside of the door and hopefully they will bring the window top edge into the rubber seal. Just to add, even with the rising of the window the noise has been reduced.

I've tried this today and it definitely works, I released the screw under the door and pulled it out as far as it would go (towards the door skin). As you do this you can see the top edge of the window pull into towards the seal. Nice tip, thanks for posting something that is effective.

Thanks
