Question about adjusting window tilt

[momodonut]

Hello, noob here with questions for anyone who has adjusted their window(s) on a Model S. I found the two plugs on the bottom of the door, managed to find a 10mm socket, loosened the hex nut, but I can't seem to move the rod.

Do I need to remove the door panel?
Do I need to remove the nut entirely?
What did you use to move the rod?

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean, adjust windows? If they are not going all the way up, you just need to calibrate the window limits.

I adjusted it on my Raven X. Definitely had to take the door panel off. 4 adjustments. Look on YouTube. Model S could be different though since there were no caps for the bottom adjusters on the X.

You can also check service manuals. Recently free access. I used a service manual and YouTube to help with the X.

No, I don't mean calibrating. I'm referring to actually tilting the window pane so that the top leans in towards the roof so that the seal is better. I guess I should've called it "window track adjustment" like here: Wind/road noise from doors/windows -- fix it for good

I did look on YouTube, I guess I'll have to watch the ones posted by actual body shop guys. Thanks for the tip on the service manuals!
