Default 2nd Gen Side Glass Adjustment

Just spent 2 half-day sessions wrestling with the door glass on the driver’s side of my 73 TA. Right now, it is maybe (likely?) as good as I am going to get it. I am completely happy with: front/rear tilt; front/rear height when fully rolled up; and inward pitch. My problem is that the glass still sits too close to the ‘A’ pillar in relation to the rear. And I am literally backed up against the furthest rear of the front-to-back adjustment slot.

This is not my first rodeo adjusting the windows on 2nd Gen F-Body cars. But I am far from a seasoned pro. I have learned along the way that every single adjustment affects every OTHER adjustment. For example, the further you pitch the glass ‘in’ toward the cabin, the higher you need to set the height stops to get the window to contact the top weatherstrip. Pitch the window ‘out’ away from the cabin, and you need to drop the height adjusters to compensate.

So, does anyone who has more experience than I do have any ideas for glass that seems to ride too far forward - even with the adjusters at the furthest end of the rear adjustment slots?

I did post this in the body-shop tech forum ‘cause those guys pull and replace glass all the time. But I also figured I’d post here as well, only because this sub forum gets a ton of traffic.

THANK YOU!
