Where are the hex screws for MS2014 window glass tilt adjustment

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I have found a number of videos showing how to align/adjust the window glass on a M3. Unfortunately the hex screws they mention do not exist on the 2014 MS.

Is is possible to adjust the RH rear glass to eliminate wind whistle?
If the hex adjustment screws don't exist on the MS, what other methods are people using to change the tilt of the window?
 
After taking off the door panels, looking up at the bottom of the door there are 2 caps, removing those expose the adjustment nut.

Loosen that, then move the rail slightly

So from my memory, the rod actually has a sort of metal stop in one of the directions, you can see it in the third picture on the right. I couldnt get it to budge either. I actually bent the stop upwards to give me more play. But in the end, this screw was not the adjustment I needed, I ended up loosening the main bolts holding the window to the mechasim and re-adjusting the window and retightening those bolts. Turns out my window just sagged at one of the retaining bolts.

Glad (?) to see I'm not the only one. I guess I'll take the door panel off and see what all's in there. Thanks!
