Driver side window alignment

Hi guys I've recently re installed the front window on my Bentley GT 2004 and I just can't get it to work/align properly.i fitted the regulator 6 months ago and it's been fine but I had to remove the window pane but since fitting it again it hits the rubber on the quarter window but it's not central so when driving the wind whistles through.i tried every combination to set it straight but just can't find the correct position is there a simple way to do this.its annoying because everytime I want to test and adjust I have to dissemble the whole door card

Hi only me again ... Dose the door and the quarter panel glass drop when you open the door or go back up when you close the door ...

Hi Rico yes I've set the windows up they drop as they should and operate properly it's just at the very top of the window seems.to bend.inwards when fully closed I've tried the adjuster plate on the back leg but it was fine before I just can't work it out

Yah it doesn't sound great but let fix this, ok take the door card off and behind the bass speaker which is the round one remove it, when you totally lower the window a alloy comes down with the glass have you aligned this with the glass and the runner.
I'm taking my door cards off today to replace some speakers I'll have a good look what and get back to you later today ...

Thanks Rico because I had to remove all door panel inside originally to fix door handles and I didn't realise there was alignment behind speaker as I've never removed the speaker I guess I must of got lucky when I replaced the regulator months ago.in my thread "please help" you can see the hassle I've had with the door handles 🙈. I'm away this weekend but will get straight back to it on Monday thankyou

Hello Yoghurtshotgun, I hope this helps, you can level the glass at these points once you remove the speaker ...
