OK:

I have more adjusting to do on the pass side - but I’d like to seek the advise of someone who’s come this far. I know there are others who have been able to get their targa to seal up nice .... I’d like my car to seal up *better* ... though I know that this car is a long ways from “sorted”.

For whatever reason, I have adjusted my rear track angle (on the bottom Of the door) but:




This rear corner does not look right. If I close the door and then push on the glass with my hand, I can get the glass *closer* to the targa seal and there is a smaller gap: but that’s annoying and is not “as intended”.

...however: I did get the glass angle improved and it is going to the correct height (which is pretty sweet).




According to the “targa adjustment manual” (from the Porsche school) ... the glass should kiss the targa top seal (on the top-to glass), and it looks like the height is as it is supposed to be. In thinking about all that goes into this mess: do I need to trim some of the material off of the targa bar seal? Is there an adjustment that I am not accounting for? Also: nothing is “locked in place” yet.
