I have replaced the regulator on my passenger side window. Before replacement, everything sealed well. Now, I can not seem to get the back vertical side of the glass to sit snug to the seal. I have a convertible FYI.
I have adjusted the lower bolt on the front out as far as i can, and I moved out the bottom threaded screw on the lower right to push the glass in tighter. Its sealed nicely along the front and top, just not the rear side.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Browse the forum for a write-up on how to do this. There are three adjusments: Fore/Aft, Up/Down and Tip In/Tip Out. For the vert, it is a process of trial and error. Use a garden hose to check for leaks and a drive test to check for wind noise.

It's pretty much a trial and error systematic fix. I had a similar issue on my driver side window after replacing the regulator. In hindsight, I should have marked the window with a wax pen or blue painters tape to make sure I reinstalled it in the exact position. Plan B is to take measurements from the other side and apply those measurements in your adjustment.
My advise is to keep the interior door panel removed while you make your adjustments. You will need to drive the car a few times until you no longer hear any extra noise of wind. That's what I did and I was able to press the glass and areas while driving to help reduce the noise. After I was satisfied, I then reinstalled the interior door panel.

Went through the same process of trial and error with test drives. Make sure to get up to highway speeds before re installing door panel to make sure of no wind noise. Might possibly have to adjust the glass itself
Thanks for all the feedback. I’ve read the posts on the forums, and watched the videos. My particular issue is the vertical seal along the rear side of the glass. I was able to adjust the regulator to bring the glass in tight to the top, but it’s not moving the panel in perpendicular to the plane, it’s like the entire glass is slightly too far away from the seal along the rear of the glass. Not sure what other adjustments are available, the glass is perfectly adjusted front to back, and aligned to the seal along the entirely of the top from the front corner.
