3. After completely opening the electric convertible top, completely raise the door window glass and quarter window glass.
4. Measure gaps, check for sealing quality (wet glass and look for at least 12.7 mm (0.50 in.) wide seal all glass-to-seal locations), check tilt before and after completing each adjustment.
5. Before proceeding with these adjustments,
a. Mark each adjusting stud bolt prior to loosening.

b. Loosen one adjusting stud boltnut at a time.
6. Lower the quarter window slightly, loosen the up-stop installation bolt(s).
7. Adjust using the up-stop installation bolts so that the difference in the quarter window glass height from the door window glass height is at the standard value.
Standard value (A): 0 ± 2.0 mm (0 ± 0.08 in.)
NOTE: Any adjustment to the up-stop installation bolts affects front door glass gap (illustration A - A, A' - A').
8. Adjust using the up-stop installation bolts so that the clearance between the quarter window glass sash weather strip and the door window glass is at the standard value.
Standard value (B): 8.3 ± 2.0 mm (0.33 ± 0.08 in.)
NOTE: If dimensions of section A - and A' - A' are adjusted, the height of the quarter window glass may be changed.Confirm the height of the quarter window glass again.(Refer to view A in the illustration.)
9. Measure the quarter window to front door gap 76.2 mm (3.0 in.) from the top of the door glass and 76.2 mm (3.0 in.) from the top of the front door. Adjust so that gap is same at both locations.
10. Open and close the front door several times after adjustment to ensure settings are good.
