is it bigger or was the original shrunk from age? either way as ace said every tip helps. only thing i wish is that the diagrams for adjusting the windows were  clearer (mine are electric). glad you had success.Thumbs%20Up

Yeah, but its still as much a black art as it is a science.  Seems when 71Shark and I got mine close front to back, we screwed up the top side and vice versa.
 
We finally got close but you are correct about them either being bigger or the old ones shrinking.  I now have to open each door, roll the window up all the way and then close them.  Works well except at 80mph.  Them suckers is tight now though.
