Window Glass: Adjustments

DOOR WINDOW GLASS ADJUSTMENT





1. Remove the door trim and waterproof film.
2. Remove the drip line weatherstrip.
3. Loosen the bolts and nuts of the following parts.
^ Delta sash
^ Equalizer arm bracket
^ Glass guide front track
^ Glass guide rear track
^ Up-stop
^ Inner stabilizer

NOTE: Move the window glass down to the lowest position before removing the delta sash bolt.

4. Raise the door window glass, and adjust it so that the following dimensions are at the standard value.









5. Push the up-stops firmly against the lift arm bracket of the regulator, and then install the bolts. Dimensions a and d in step 4 should be maintained at this time.
6. Tighten the mounting bolts and nuts of the front and rear glass guide tracks.

CAUTION: Do not turn the adjusting bolts of the glass guide tracks.

7. Install the mounting bolt of the equalizer arm bracket for the regulator.





8. Tighten the three delta sash mounting bolts so that the edges of the delta sash and window glass run on smoothly with there being no difference in height at the lip end.
9. Install the drip line weatherstrip to the weatherstrip holder.

CAUTION: The weatherstrip should not slip or become wrinkled.





10. Open and close the door and raise and lower the window glass and check the glass installation against the following points.

a. The clearance between the glass and the glass catch should be within the range of *1 shown in the illustration when the window is fully closed and the door is closed gently.

NOTE: If the clearance is too small, the glass catch will move above the glass when the door is closed. It the clearance is too large, wind noise may be generated at high vehicle speeds because the glass catch is not hooked onto the glass.

b. The amount of catch of the door catch on the door glass and the amount of step between the door glass and the weatherstrip should be at the dimensions marked by *2 under the following conditions: when the door is closed and then the window is closed fully when the window is closed fully and then the door is closed
c. The door glass should slide smoothly over its full range of movement when the door is closed.

NOTE: If there is no clearance, the glass will be damaged. If the clearance is too great, rattling noise will occur.

d. The glass catch and the weatherstrip should be parallel with the door glass and the two up-stops should touch simultaneously when the glass is fully closed.





e. Check the amount of glass tilt by the following procedure. Close the door glass fully and then gently close the door. Check that the difference in height between the door and side panels is 15-25 mm (0.59-0.98 in.) when the corner of the door glass is touching the weatherstrip at the top of the center pillar.

NOTE: If the amount of tilt is too small, the glass catch will move above the glass when the door is closed and when the glass is raised. If the amount of tilt is too large, the door will be difficult to close and the glass will not be fully sealed when the door is closed.

11. Install the waterproof film and the door trim.
