{Chrysler 300} C convert rear window alignment

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Old painful subject I know .
But getting into truly severe frustration over this .
The the top of  the  rear vent window wants to land inward into car when it gets to convert rail —-  ,on one side inward  on other outward(!) 

Although a slot  on bottom  of motor  mount tail looks like an obvious  adjustment in and out , it cant be , as the regulator has  three bolts fastening it hard to sit tight to   the inner face of quarter panel inner skin  surface , so that body  surface sets the angle it comes up out of door , — hard and fast .
I did not reassemble this car but starting  to think maybe they  had factory shims or spacers  in there that I don't   know about or were lost by PO . 
The fsm is garbage on this — no info 

( by the way  I found a  lot of wiring diagram errors  in that C fsm , kind of thrown together imho .Different  pages  have conflicting wiring , especially around head  light  switch,  and feeding those kick panel 3 circuit breakers ) . Pix of headlight switch is under “switches” (!!!) many pages away , not on wiring diagram . If you  wire as shown the cig lighter  will come  on with headlights ( only ) 

But if anyone has fought this rear window in and out alignment issue on convert ( probably  similar on hdtp )  let us know , to preserve sanity 
Top is perfect lands right  on pins , roof rail straight , but window trends inward on worst ( pass) side and folds over the weather seal     . Fought 57 - 58 hardtops on that before  , replacement    rubber fir those is not flocked , adds huge problems with drag at end if travel . 
The convert one IS flocked! small gains!  

  The slot at bottom of motor is to deal with mounting  tolerances imho not tip angle of glass .

Related,  fsm says to get regulator  out , run roller to the end , and run out of channel first , then lift out glass .
Well , great ! 

 There is no room at end of channel  for roller  to escape  channel it hits the body structure . So unable to get regulator out   ( yet) to add a fabricated  shim if we wanted to .
All you hear about 57 bodies is true . absolutely half baked 
car is cursed , same one  , with 2 weeks + into front  regulators, but that is ok now   … space between run channels was too tight binding lift motor . Caused by a “ replacement” run U channel too shallow or  too thick at bottom of U   . Cure is 2 loose pieces of side channel whiskers  no U 
 What should take  2 hours  takes 2 weeks . Gets old fast
