In the process of fitting the door posts and windows I found that the passenger side window would not go up as far as I wanted.  I had previously installed a power window kit from Specailty Power and Window, but I had not tried it with the window glass installed.  I found the problem to be that the toothed wheel that is driven by the motor on the power window system was hitting the brace/support on the  inside of the door.

To fix this problem I removed a section from the toothed wheel

Here is a shot of the modified wheel (driver side) with the window completely up.

In the process of trying to resolve this problem I noticed that the driver side window also had some interference but not as bad as the passenger side.   Notice also that the passenger side wheel is made a little differently that the driver side.  I also cut a notch in the driver side to allow it to go up to it's maximum position.

Driver side before modification.

Passenger side. 
Almost looks like an extra piece was added to the driver side wheel.
