Thanks guys,

Tried recalibrating the windows, and it's definitely mechanical.
Also took both doors apart (had to replace the passenger side lock anyways) and it's clear the drivers side window regulator was replaced in the past.
And I'm really starting to doubt the wrenching skillset of the previous owner(s).

Anyways.

So how exactly is the mechanical travel adjusted ?

Do I simply adjust the two adjustment screws accessed from the bottom of the door ?
Like run the window up an inch and then reset the DME travel ?

I feel like I'm missing something stupid and would rather not screw anything up.

Additional question.
What kinda foam should I use to cushion the window in the regulator clamp ?

Looks like that was left out when the regulator was replaced.
Coz of course it was.
Makes about as much sense as them trying to fix leaking spark plug tubes by covering the valve cover in RTV.....
