    Guys...
    I have installed my door glass and wonder how to level the glass ?
    Iit does go full down and full up but one side is much lower than the other .
    Seems the only adjustment is the nut at the pivot point for the arms.
    See photos .
    Thanks for assistance

    hi,
    yes the nut pictured is the adjustment for levelling the glass. wind the window down, loosen the nut and slide it across in small increments until the glass sits level when wound back to the the top. I have never done a targa so it may take a few goes to get it right against the roof seal. Coupes you just do with the door open, it is quite straight forward.
    Under the nut is a washer with an indexing tab, make sure that is located in the adjustment slot.

    Good luck,
    Reuben

    Ok, went at it for a couple of hours and with nut very loose could not get any change..
    Did same on a lift notjnstalled on the car and the arm definitely moves to change heights.
    Think that the frame for the vent window may need to be loosened to allow some movement .
    Seems the glass/arms are restricted by the Chanel’s for that the glass runs in at the rear channel and the vet frame channel.
    Are targa any different ?
    Thanks for more info or ideas.

    So had to remove the vent window portion guess it relieved the friction....was able to remove all hardware related to the adjuster. Reinstalled and was able to adjust window level . Now just dealing with the white plastic glide of the glass/ frame which comes out of the channel when cranking up....Fit the PS working ok but had to remove the channel felt/weather strip for smooth moving. With the channel felt weather strip in has tendency to bind....
