Hi all. This is my first time posting. I own a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach One. I had my interior completely redone. The upholsterer evidently threw off the quarter window alignment. So now every time I wash the car I have to put masking tape all around the quarter windows and doorglass on both sides. I would like to find out after removing the rear seats and panels, what do I look to start adjusting the quarter windows? Do I look for bolts, screws below the quarter window? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Btw, welcome Steve and I hope you find this place to be pretty helpful as 1969stang is good but still pretty new.
I know you e-mailed me, but work has been a pain and I’ve been stuck here a-lot. i hope this helps, and if I ever get a brake, I’ll come over and help. You should ask the Aod question here, a-lot of good info from these guys.

Bob, we've got another san diegen.......

Anyway Steve, can you drop me an e-mail with you physical address, so I can mapquest it.

I’ve done it on my Mach 1 after I put in a new headliner and weather-stripping.

You have about 4 points you can adjust. One is behind a rubber pad on the door post, One is at the top of the window (2 screws that mount the window) and the other is a mounting bracket accessible after you take out the rear panels.

I don’t know of a proper way to do it. I just loosened up everything and positioned the window so it sealed correctly on the new weather-stripping. Then, I checked the alignment with the door window in the up position. I just kept moving things till I got a good seal and everything was straight.

Hope this helps.
