Default adjusting window stop height on cab

My passenger side window goes a tad too high so that the window hits the top rubber seal when trying to close it. I there an adjustment in the door (hopefully not disassembled!) to lower this a bit? I can just not raise it as far, but it is annoying.

I just did this weekend. Mine had the passenger window go up a little too high in the back. I removed the door card and peeled back the plastic film just enough to expose the rear window regulator adjustment bolt. It was in the center of the door and was easy to spot. Just insert an Allen key, loosen and move up or down as needed. I would assume there is a front bolt, but I did'nt have a problem with the front of my window, so I did'nt look for it.

my problem is in the front, sadly....are you pretty sure there is a front and a back adjustment? not just an overall height?

I could not find a good picture, but the bolt I adjusted is #4 in the pic. I see there is a front one, so I would assume it has the same adjustment.

so in this picture, there are two #4s. You adjusted the one that is rearward in this pix, and you surmise the frontward #4 would control the height of the front of the glass?

Per the top photo in that link, there’s no need to peel back the plastic liner, if yours has the black removable patch plugs within the liner to access the window regulator adjustment nuts.

and (for the really lazy) 1) perhaps no need to unplug the speakers and window switch cables either. Just rest the door board at an angle out of the way if cables allow and go to the black plugs for access to the adjusting mechanism? Also, 2) in any case, I assume this adjustment is done with the window in the full "up" position, right?
Thanks.
Charlie
