I'm new at this forum.... Let me know... I'm also new here, but if the gap is the one shown in the photo of your celica, your window just needs to be adjusted. To do that, you need to remove the inner door panel and adjust the upper stops in the door panel. The first part of this guide will help you remove the panel: http://www.6gc.net/howto/install_subwoofers_in_front_doors Hope this helps and welcome to 6gc! |

Actually, that's all I need to know. I have the exact same problem that you do on both sides of the car and I need to paint those pieces anyway. When I take them off to paint them, I'll see if I can fix the gap. Anyone else have this problem? |

How big is the gap supposed to be? It's .5cm in some spots and doesn't look intentional. The gap is also not mentioned in the service manual.
I'm going to feel really stupid if its supposed to be that way! |

I've always wandered why my car was like that. I've always thought it was because it got old and started to peel off. Lol.

All my Celicas have been like that.
You get used to being careful with the polishing in that area...the gap gets narrower and the car "grabs" the polishing cloth sometimes. lol |
