Front and rear windows hit each other.

convertible.
When I drive with the top down and the windows up, the rear and front
side windows bump against each other making an annoying clicking
noise, on both sides.
Any experience getting rid of this noise? I admit I haven't tried
much, but this was the last warm day for a while, and I want to get
ideas before the next warm day. I have tried bending the rear window
rubber strip a little, at the top end, and that didn't help, and I
tried lowering the front windows a little, and that didn't help.
Lowering the back windows might have helped -- not sure -- , but I
really don't want to have to do t hat, and it will increase noise and
cold air. .
I've had 6 prior convrtibles, and have always driven a lot with the
windows up, to keep out the trraffic noise in the city, and to keep
warm when it's cold out. Often I use the heater in the late fall and
early spring and at night.
None of the others, 65 and 67 Pontiac Catalinas, 73 Buick Centuriion,
and 84, 88, and 95 Chrysler LeBarons made any window noise even on
rough roads and gravel roads and roads with chuckholes.
But this makes the noise even on smooth roads when I go over the
slightest bumps.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Re: Front and rear windows hit each other.
You should be able to adjust them for a tighter fit, although
it won't be easy. Pull the inner panels off and there are
slotted adjustments. Loosen the bolts, move the window, and
tighten back up. Not too tight though... they have to
move up and down and fit the top without burning out the motors.
