  I am looking for information on how to adjust the top and windows

  Adjusting the top is one of the jobs that I recommend paying a professional to do. If you do it wrong, you could damage the top mechanism.

  Terry, if you can find a 1949-1951 Ford shop manual, there are instructions on how to make the adjustments for convertibles of those years. There are some differences from the 47 Ford / Mercury top, but the principal and most adjustments are similar enough to help you.

Here is a link to a more general top adustment procedure:

If you give some details of the history of the top and what you are trying to accomplish, I can copy a section of the shop manual or give you advice.
