Hey Joe,
=20
One thing to check is to make sure your quarter window is aligned properly t=
o the windscreen frame. If there=E2=80=99s interference or a tight gap there=
 it will push the roll up window out when you close the door. You need good f=
it with the ledge on the door seal and the chrome frame. =20

I recently discovered that the wedges under the windscreen were left out aft=
er my car was painted and I needed to realign the ws frame.
 Also check that the small screw holding the quarter window frame to the doo=
r (I think it=E2=80=99s a #4???) is present and tight. Sometimes the captive=
 nut in the door is missing .
If it=E2=80=99s loose this will also allow movement of the window when you c=
lose the door.=20

Paul. =20
