Default Gap in window and top

I am new to the forum and new to ownership of the roadster. thanks in advance for any insight on my problem.

At the upper rear of the window (curved area) there is a gap which lets air and eventually come rainy season....water in. The window seems to be secured well though I am wondering if the they can be adjusted to make up the gap?

Thanks!

Is the glass separating from the canvas like this...



Appears to be a problem with heat causing the glass and canvas to separate.
There have been several posts about this and remedies range from re-glueing to getting new tops. Try a search and you will find more on this subject.
Here is a recent thread where I posted my repair procedure. Might work for you!

Yes, the side windows are adjustable. Section 23 of the repair manual.

Don't let the title scare you. It has the same top/mechanism as the limited roadster.

Awesome. thanks for the direction on this. I'll look to adjusting the window right away. It's supposed to rain here in California - August - Cool temps and rain - Cmon Al Gore : )

If Al would fly all his corporate jets a little more, maybe it will rain less.

All wrapped up! Thanks for the reference. It took about 20 mins to talke off the door panel 15 mins to adjust and check, another 15 mins to put panel back on. I am sure this saved me $200+ if I had taken it to a shop!
