Under the door base in the skin of the frame are 2 plugs. Remove them to gain access to the bolts for adjusting the window fore and aft, in and out.

I had a garage do mine, they didn't get it exactly 100%, but I'm happy enough, cheaper than the dealership doing it!

Hey guys when you adjusted the stops did you find that you got bounce back and if so would you need to re-set the window stops by disconnecting the battery and programing?

A garage did mine.

Bouncing back is usually a safety precaution for the motor on our cars. You may need to adjust a bit more.
