Measurements and Specifications

MEASUREMENTS AND SPECIFICATIONS

1. Always check the door-to-body alignment first. With the door glass in the full down position, check the door latch-to-door striker alignment. If necessary, adjust the door striker. See page 42-35 in the 1995 Eclipse service manual.




2. Apply a piece of masking tape along the quarter window molding as shown by the shaded area. Make a mark on the tape at 65 mm (61A cm) below the top weatherstrip seam. Then make another mark on the tape at 100 mm (10 cm) below the first mark.

Measure the distance from the front of the quarter trim molding to the edge of the glass at each of the two marks on the tape. Specification is 12-15 mm at each mark.

^ The measurement (gap width) at the two marks should be within 1/2 mm of each other. If they are not, parallelism adjustment is required.
^ If out of specification (gap too wide or narrow), fore and aft adjustment is required.


3. Apply two 50 mm (5 cm) pieces of masking tape over the top of the glass at the following areas:

^ Top rear of the glass, 50 mm (5-cm) in front of the weatherstrip seam.




^ Top front of the glass 100 mm (10 cm) from the delta trim.




With the door closed and the window rolled completely up, use a pencil to mark on the tape the current position of the window molding at the glass. Then open the door and measure the distance from the edge of the glass to the mark on the tape. Record the measurements on the tape.

Specifications are:
^ Front tape: 1.5 to 4.5 mm
^ Rear tape: 2.5 to 4.5 mm
If out of specification, height adjustment is required.




4. Wet the inner corner of the glass. Close the door just until the glass contacts the weatherstrip. Measure the gap between the body and the door, just below the door handle. Specification is 15 to 20 mm.

If out of specification, tilt adjustment is required.
