Issue:
This bulletin describes a method of checking the height of the door glass. Incorrect height adjustment can cause wind noise, water leaks, or splitting of the door seal in the area of the cheater.
Action:
To check the door glass height, and if required, adjust the door glass regulator stop adjuster, follow the workshop procedure outlined below.

Any repairs or adjustments other than that outlined in the Workshop Procedure below must be carried out as a separate Warranty Claim.
CHECK DOOR GLASS HEIGHT
1. Switch the ignition "ON".
2. With the door closed, operate door glass to the fully closed position.
3. An observer outside the vehicle should view glass height with reference to the feature line on the A-post finisher, the glass and the feature line should align as shown by the arrows (Illustration 1).
ADJUST DOOR GLASS HEIGHT
If the door glass is out of position, adjust the door glass regulator stop adjuster:
1. Remove door trim panel for access (see Workshop Manual, JTIS CD ROM section: 501-05, SRO 76.34.01).

9. Operate door glass to the fully closed position.
10. View glass height with reference to the feature line on the A-post finisher (Illustration 1).
