Hey guys. Have a 57 4dr pillarless and the rear left window is giving me grief! Started that it was a little tight with the front door and the lower rear of it was along way from sealing, to the point you could poke a finger through. Ive got the door lining off and been mucking around. Now I have raised the rear using the sash cam screw. It has closed the rear gap a little. Trouble is its moved the front foward abit and now it fouls on the front door somthing wicked. There seems to be alot of slop in the window. With it wound right up I can move it by hand to where it needs to be, but of course it just relaxs back. Ive tried the male wedgelock but when I look up inside the door it doesnt seem to do much, and there is nothing where the female should be, just a horizontal alot but no nut bolt or adjustment. The window also seems loose and floppy. The centre guide nut is loose in the track, ie the track has abit of play in it. If I hold this steady it firms up the window. Any help would be great, I dont wanna be that guy that turns up at the shop saying I had a go myself....

Hi Rod. I have the 4dr which uses different mechanisims. I have the manual buts it's not helping much. It's a recently purchased car so who would know if all the internal bits are even there. Cheers Chris
Chris....We have a 56 Body by Fisher manual at the site here:https://www.trifive.com/forums/manual/1956Body.pdf Should be very similar....(Start on page 32)

So Ive figured the whole window needs to come back (aft) around 1/4 to 1/2 inch. There doesnt seem to be much adjustment on this though. The main track bolts on the front of the door, when tightened just pull everything foward again. Also when I look in the small hole for the female wedge screw there is no bolt or anything. Patients is wearing thin on this one
