Default Window Not Sealing

My 1987 Cabby has a problem whereby the driver's side door window, when fully wound up, will not completely meet the rubber seal along the top edge, thereby making considerable noise at speed. It is not the same gap along the length - there is more of a gap at the leading edge than the trailing one.

I know there is a FAQ/tutorial on how to adjust the "limits" of the window travel somewhere, but I could not figure out precisely which bolt in the door had to be adjusted to move the window. Any advice please?

You could always just get new weather stripping. Or those window shades that hang out over your window, that would stop the noise and also make sure no water gets in. I don't know if that would work for a convertable

window shades are a good thing to prevent the door panel for rain drops. But if your window glass not touching the rubber from up side so I think there is alignment disturbed of the door panel. You can check it by opening the door panel from inside.

The window is out of adjustment and I really recommend waiting until you can take it to the dealer but Once the panel is off, there will be openings in the sheetmetal to access the window pulley and crank.
