Default 2001 Sebring 1/4 window adjustment?

Hello, I just finishing replacing the right 1/4 window regulator. The problem I am having is the top of the glass at the roof line sits too far in (towards the interior) on the car. If I were to bring the bottom of the regulator in (towards the interior) the would force the top of the glass to go out and line up with the door glass. Are there any adjustments to do this? As always, thank you in advance for your time and answers.

Gary

I'm assuming we are talking about a convertible here. The adjustment for tip-in is controlled by a jack screw held in place with a lock nut. Loosen the lock-nut, use an allen wrench to adjust the jack screw and lock it down.

BINGO ! ! !...I am assuming, there are 3 jack screws with the lock nuts? These are the same 3 that hold the regulator to the internal body of the car. I tried every allen wrench I had, 3 sets, none of them fit. I was fortunate enough to spin the jack screws by hand via the built in washer/spacer. I finally got the perfect adjustment after R & R'ing the regulator 5 times. For the most part it was a fairly simple job. As always, thank you for your guidance and assistance. Now my last job to tackle on this car is the AC.

AC is blowing air...Not hot, not cold, just air...Like a fan in your house would. I do notice that when I start the car, at anytime of day, I get a loud belt squeal for maybe 5 - 10 seconds. I also noticed I get the belt squeal when I operate the top. Refrigerant is full. I'm not sure if the clutch is spinning. This car just had the engine replaced. I am hoping that they forgot to plug the compressor in. I read somewhere on-line that it may be the BCM. I'll have to get a scanner and see if I can I pull any codes off it.

The belt squeal is probably a loose serpentine belt. That belt drives the generator and the A/C compressor. It needs to be tightened. You should be able to tell if the A/C clutch is engaging by watching it while somebody turns the A/C on inside the car. With that loose belt, you would probably get a squeal too.
How do you know the refrigerant charge is correct?
You'll need a good code reader to get BCM codes, any run-of-the-mill reader may not have that capacity.
