I was hoping this would be a breeze installing the glass but it's par for the course for me ,my gaps are terrible between the quarter and door glass it looks like this will be a lot of time to get this right

Quarter glass location looks okay...just move the door glass forward :bigthumb:

I wouldn't do your "final" adjustment until the roofrail weatherstrip is in place :alan2cents:

The car will be getting a vinly top . Can I put the roof rail moldings and weatherstrip on now or do I need to wait?

You'll have to wait....the stainless drip rail moldings go on top of the vinyl roof, and the weather-strip channels go on top of them. I usually do the weather-strip channels last, AFTER the headliner and Vinyl top :alan2cents:

There is no one adjustment. You basically have to have everything semi-loose and move everything. Back away and drink a beer. Then have everything semi-loose and move everything, Back away and drink a beer. Then when you think you have everything perfectly aligned, open and close door to check fit. Then Back away and drink a beer. Then have everything semi-loose and move everything.

Thats how my luck went at least.  :pullinghair:

Thank you, I have tinkered with the adjustments and now am a lot more comfortable with how it all works.Another lesson I learned is when working on the quarter windows always stuff rags or paper in the bottom to prevent parts from falling into that area :stop: they are very diffucult to fish out.
