first gen solara window adjustment when replacing motor
not sure if this is posted somewhere else
I did not find the info while searching
but I recently replaced the regulator and had a bit of frustration
everything went simple enough except the window would not line up
I saw some other advice about putting the window up and down first
but one thing that was missing from my Chilton manual
was that there are adjustment service holes
keep the window mount nuts a little loose and put the window all the way up
make sure the door closes without the glass hitting any trim
then you can gently tighten the nuts using these holes
then lower the window and finish tightening them
I bought my manual around the same time as my car, which was when they were first available, not sure if the newer manuals cover this
