Glass Run Assembly Replacement Removal
CAUTION: Removal of the front door glass run is recommended only if damage occurs to the run assembly. Due to the fragile make-up of the component, unnecessary removal may cause damage to the light gauge steel carrier insert within the rubber seal of the run assembly.
1. Remove the following window glass components as outlined:
^ Inside and outside door belt weatherstrips.
^ Front glass run retainer attaching screw.
^ Front door glass.
2. To remove glass run assembly, carefully pull run assembly off window opening pinch weld and remove through window opening. Installation and Handling
CAUTION: The front door glass run requires very "CRITICAL/SPECIAL TYPE HANDLING." The glass run must be handled by the center section only - "NEVER FROM FRONT OR REAR LEGS." The glass runs must be handled in a manner that prevents damage to the Aand B-pillar corners. The glass run must be handled with special care even when installing into the door window glass opening. From outside the vehicle the glass run front leg (A-pillar section) is installed into the front door run retainer so that the run assembly and the front run retainer are aligned at the lower end. The front leg of the glass run with the front run retainer attached is then eased into the door at the door belt opening.
NOTE: This procedure requires two people, one inserting the front leg and another person holding the remainder of glass run at center section to prevent bending. After the front (A-pillar section) and the rear (B-pillar section) of the glass run assembly is inserted into the door, the glass run is installed per the following procedures:
