After replacing my hood this weekend I've noticed (only had the car 2 weeks) that the windows don't quite butt up against the roof rubbers when closed.
I popped the door open and tried adjusting the window plane and position as per the worskhop guide, but no matter what I adjusted it didn't make a blind bit of difference - there's always about 1-2mm gap almost all the way along the passenger side window. On the driver side the gap is less than 1mm.
Am I being just too picky? Is it the case that they all do this and it's just a fact of life that when it rains, the little boat gets a little bit wet? Mine's a 1997.
The mechanic at DTR who serviced it said that there's some plastic part that gets broken and once this is the case you have to replace the entire window regulator at a cost of 250 auid per door. I'm not sure I believe him - I couldn't find any broken bits of plastic anywhere in the door.
Any hints on what I can do about this? I've thought about cutting some rubber from a bicycle inner tube and gluing it along the roof rubbers for a better fit, but I'm not sure this would look too hot.
Thanks in advance for any advice
