Line up the windows ?

Hey guys.. my previous owner didn't line up the doors very well at all and I am going to have to rectify this soon.

My question is that once I line up the gaps on the doors, are the window regulators somewhat adjustable to shift the windows and make them fit against the top seals.. or at least closer ?

THanks..
Jeff

Yes, the holes are a little larger than the bolts so there is some play there.
There's not that much adjustability...but there is some.

Re: Line up the windows ?

Maybe you have already done this, but the first thing that comes to mind when I hear/see blazer doors not lined up is bad body mounts. Have you change and or shimmed you body mounts lately to make sure that the body is sitting properly on the frame? Just a thought.

The PO has installed new body mounts and that might still be a problem.. but he also painted the truck and had the doors off. Pretty much every adjustable panel is dropped on in the ball park for function, not looks. So I have a long list of things to do..

Personally I would start at the mounts in that case. Do you have a hard top? Here is the thread where I went through everything. Take a look at the picture from the assembly manual, it gives some good info. I don't want to scare you or anything, but hopefully I can save you some headaches. Long story short, if the PO installed the body mounts and didn't bother to shim anything then I can almost guarantee things are off at least a little.
