Anyone has this problem

Anyone has a problem with the rear / Quarter window not going down all the way when you open the top.
My driver side rean window does not go down all the way. It stays up about one inch higher from the other side. Can the regulator be adjusted or I need to replace it?
I appreciate any feedback

About the rear window

I reckon it's normal, in my car about 1 inch is sticking out.

Both back windows on my SL550 stick up about an inch or so. They both look like your picture. I have seen others and this is normal.

I never really thought anything about the windows sticking up. Anyone have any idea why some are and some are not?

This is a Photo of my Right one. It goes all the way down.
My left side sticks up 1 inch.
They dont match on my car. So which one is the correct setting?

Do you guys think it is an adjustment that can be made in the Window's Regulator?
