Assembly Hints
During assembly, be aware of the following areas where care MUST be taken.
1. When installing the chrome belt molding assembly, be sure to engage the tabs at the front and rear lower glass runs correctly.
HINT:
Start by engaging the rear tab and then the front.
2. To reduce the gap between the front door belt molding sub-assembly and door panel, firmly press down on the front door belt molding sub-assembly while the 5 screws are tightened.
3. To reduce the gap between the front door belt molding sub-assembly and door panel, firmly press down on the front door belt molding sub-assembly while the 5 screws are tightened.
4. The door inner belt seal assembly has four metal clips that engage the metal flange of the door inner panel.
At the top of the rear 3 of the 4 clips, a piece of foam is inserted to prevent noise from the metal to metal contact.
These foam pieces are not glued in place so the foam pieces can fall out when the door inner trim panel is removed.
When reassembling the door inner belt seal assembly to the door panel, check that the foam pieces are in place. If not, insert new pieces (5 x 5 x 25 mm).
5. The door belt inner glass seal can be installed incorrectly causing a gap at the front end of the door glass run at the belt.
Make sure that the inner glass seal is sitting on the outside of the glass run.
NOTE:
The illustration on the right shows the glass installed incorrectly.
