Default quarter windows

Been a member for a while but don't recall ever posting. Finally able to start working on my 1969 Coupe. I've searched around the forum and haven't found anything on this. Working on adjusting/rebuilding quarter windows. I've found numerous videos on how to do this and think I have them installed and adjusted correctly. My concern is that when rolled up all the way I can't get the window to be tight against the outer window felts. Are the quarter windows designed to leak or should the window be tight up against the felt? I think they should be tight like the front windows. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong... There should be some adjustment bolts that can move the window assembly in or out wards. This should push your window outward towards the felt. Don't go to far. Need to make sure you line up with the weather striping up top and match up rubber seal with the main window.

Thanks for the feedback. I've spent quite a bit of time adjusting the window using the bolts you describe. I've watched the videos by Mark Boice of Rides and Wrecks for this. He indicated it could take 4 to 8 hours to get a window right. Maybe I just need to spend more time at it. Was hoping maybe someone had some tricks to making it easier. Thanks again.
