Front windows will not roll up all the way / Adjustments?

I recently took possession of a 1972 K5. While I looked over the car prior to purchasing, I didn't think to roll the windows all the way up. Once I took possession, the drivers window rolls up about 1.5" - 2" short and the passenger side is about 1" short.

I took off the passenger side door panel and didn't see any adjustments on the window track. Am I missing an obvious adjustment or is something else going on?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is an adjustment. Most likely the gear teeth on the mechanism are just crusty on the last bit, keeping you from getting full use. I'd bet that a good cleaning and lube job will get it working right.

Oh, and make sure nothing is blocking the window tracks. Could be that too.
