The upper and lower limits are stored in the window motor control, but that is only for the limits. Physically changing the upper limit, remove door card and loosen the clamps that hold the window glass and physically drop the window glass down a bit. Check everything before reinstalling the door card.

There are also adjustments screws on the bottom of the door. You have to remove the rubber plugs to get to them. Can you describe the issue in more detail? Is the window not dropping when you open or close the door?

In my recollection, the bolts accessible under the door (behind the plastic plugs) are for the window "camber", basically setting the angle of the window either tighter to the window frame seal, or looser. They have nothing to do with up and down.

Sorry my friend but you are mistaken. When I replace the window regulator on the drivers side last year I used these adjusters to set the final height of the window when up.

The nuts directly under the rubber plugs at the bottom of the door are for the camber. The bolts accessible through service holes covered by the adjacent rubber plugs are for window height. But they don't get out of adjustment on their own, so we might need op to clarify what makes him believe the window is too high.

The "drop" happens, but the window (on cabrio) sees to go up too far, I don't press in on the glass it hits the top....at the front corner by the w/s it is up about 3/16 too high.
I need to take some pix...tomorrow....tnx

If the drop is happening but it is not happening enough, and it used to happen enough, and nobody has replaced the window, you need a new window regulator. The common failure mode for the regulator is that it breaks in a way that the window drops but not by enough.
