Less than a week after picking up my Speedster I noticed a gaping gap between the driver side window and the softtop.
As they were forecasting rain I was getting a bit nervous. Judiging from the drawings in the Elise manuals it shouldn't be hard to adjust the height of the window, just remove the doorpannels and adjust the screw. Right.. Just remove the doorpannels.. Sounds easy? Unfortunatly I didn't take too many pictures. But you have to start of with removing the screws from the side of the door where the door catch is. If you remove those you can remove the first bit of the panneling.
Then remove the window winder, pretty easy if you have the allen keys.
What you are left with now is the basic door (wonder why the Speedster is so much heavier that the Elise???). Pull a bit of the plasic covering loose (carfully). Behind the plastic you'll see the eccentric screw that needs adjusting. You need to get at it from behind. It's fidly but doable.
After adjusting it, check it before putting all the panneling back on the door. Mine was lining up with the soft top much better.
