tips on adjusting door

I just put a new door on my car i got from a junkyard. the door looks straight, but the window doesn't quite fit right. Any tips on adjusting it properly since I am doing it by guess and check.

If the gaps are all even, then the window should slide in place fine. If the gaps are good and the window still doesn't seal, it could be an issue with the window track.

Need more info on how it's not fitting properly? There are adjusters in there.

The door jams all look straight, door shuts fine, but the glass sits up way too high on the weather stripping

there is a 10 mm adjustment screw for the window height. it is towards the rear of the door. from my memory, its all alone, under the regulator, maybe 6 to 10 inches from the end of the door, 4-6 inches up from the bottom. mess around with that till it seals correctly then tighten it up nice. its fun to play with.
