I recently acquired a ‘65 Dart GT that needs the glass adjusted. Any “How to” articles on this procedure?
Rear quarter window adjustment?!

Recently been in-there on my 1965 Dart 2 DR hdtp GT. I had removed the window mechanism for painting and restored the parts (derusted, painted, lubed). You must remove the rear seat and door panel. First, insure the front door and glass is adjusted. Adjust the front rail mounts so the rear window mates perfectly with the front window aft weatherstrip. The rear window can flop in the side direction when fully up, when supported just by the mechanism. The roof-rail weatherstrip controls it in that direction. The roof-rail weatherstrip has a guide track at its aft end, so if degraded it can't direct the rear window. Roof Rail rubber is very pricey for these cars ($220). I haven't replaced mine yet and will first try a generic one from Metro ($2.50/ft, shows works for 1967 Fairlane).
Ask the guys that take every single nut, bolt, screw, piece of weatherstrip out of their redo jobs.
They like spending their time and effort having to readjust everything on their cars just to get them back to the way they used to work before they took them apart.
