Window Alignment - Help!

Someone broke into my Mini about 1 month ago for a window mount navigation pod.. I had the window replaced "professionally", and now I am getting the sound of wind blowing from this side of the car. I am assuming the glass is not aligned properly. Can someone PLEASE send me directions on how to align this glass so it seals properly!??

PICTURES HELP!!

Open the door and then get on your knees......

Look way under the metal door and you'll see a couple of screws. Those screws allow you to align the window in the frame. Not sure exactly the adjustment routine, but go easy on turning them.

Hope this helps.

You loosen the bolts under the door, after it is loose, keep the box wrench on the bolt so that you can slide it forward or back.

edit: mine are bolts, others might be screws...but my car has been in so many accidents that the body shops might have replaced them with bolts - so it would be easier to adjust later...
