No real adjustment is possible, but you can rebuild the doors with new 
window track and weatherstrip. The IH shop manual has a very complete 
procedure for doing this job in the body section. The tracks are generic, 
sold in bulk and available from old car vendors like Restoration 
Specialties(no relation) and others that advertise in Hemmings. You may 
have to keep your existing ends and pop rivet them on the new tracks. This 
is the case with trucks from the '60's, but I've never done a Scout II so I 
can't confirm. I mention this so you don't pitch the old tracks and then 
discover you needed parts from them.....

New door weatherstripping(same sources) helps a lot, too. If you stop the 
door from banging around, the windows have an easier life ;)
