Hi I am hoping someone here can help me with advice on how to adjust the passenger door on my 74 Challenger. It fits decent but the top portion at the back of the window is overlapping the quarter window slightly. Is the best adjustment to lower the front of the door?
Can't figure how to post pics. Any help is appreciated

Lowering the front of the door will mess up the top of fender to door alignment. Adjusting the fender messes with the top of fender to hood alignment. Check the door to rear quarter panel gap and the door to fender gap. If the gaps are uniform, then it comes back to the window adjustment in the door or rear quarter window. It sounds to me like a front of window up-stop adjustment is needed. I'm familiar with the 70 to 72 window alignments so I'm not sure of the 74 set-up. Sorry. Maybe someone such as: @anlauto : is more familiar with the 74.

Is your door to quarter gap good and even. if so you can adjust the glass separately?

Yes most of my other gaps are pretty good so I'll have to adjust the glass separately
