Default Window Frame

I have a 99.5 and both window frames on the front doors appeared to have dropped, leaving a 1/4" gap towards the back of the door. When driving down the highway it sounds as if I am in a wind tunnel. Does anyone know if the window frame is adjustable?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

You'll have to take the door panel off, which is actually pretty easy. Take the door handle grip off (one screw), a couple more screws now exposed, and small ones front and back at extreme top of door panel. The panel lifts up and off, disconnect the handle cable and electrical connectors. At this point you'll see Torx head screws holding the "window carrier" to the door structure. You'll need to loosen these, then tighten when you have a satisfactory adjustment.

Sounds like you want to address the symptom, not the problem. What's up with the hinges?

Sounds pretty easy, Thanks for your response.

The hinges are fine on both doors. The doors close properly and smoothly. The driver side window appears to have a drag on it when opening,I suspect because of the miss-alignment.
