Thanks Gary, there were two fasteners as you described and I had been
loosening just one.  The adjustment went well without removing the frame for
modification.  Thank you too to Mark and Steve for helping get me on track.

Robin,
 
There are 2 bolts on the bottom of each door fixed window frame that permit
you to adjust it inward or outward. There are 2 rubber plugs on the bottom
of each door. Remove the front rubber plug to access the lower bolts for the
fixed window. I believe the bolts are 1/4" hex heads. Moving the bottom of
the frame outward moves the top inward and visa versa. Is sounds as though
the bottom may have come loose and moved inward as the top was pushed
outward by the weatherstrip. Try this first before you remove the frames. Is
that what you were talking about. If so, did it help?
 
Gary

The fixed window frame on the driver side  on my Tiger is bent away from the
windshield frame and does not seat against the weather-strip.  I read
somewhere that the frames are the same for both sides but bent opposite so a
slight bow towards the windshield is correct. I suspect that if this is
true, I may be dealing with a passenger side frame installed on the driver
side from a PO.   Has anyone removed the frame without removing the window
or regulator and can confirm this to be possible?  Either way, is there a
step by step instruction for disassembly/reassembly for the window and
regulator?  Robin Young
