7. Press the up-stop against the window glass stop, and then tighten the up-stop nut.




8. Lower the window glass to the extreme position.

16. Install the topstack rail weatherstrip to the weatherstrip holder. [ECLIPSE SPYDER]




17. Install the door trim and the waterproof film
18. Check the door window glass alignment according to following procedure.
1. Close the door window glass fully, and close the door until the clearance between the door window glass rear end and the weatherstrip reaches 100 mm (3.9 inches). At this time, the distance between the rear end of the belt line molding outer and the quarter panel should be 113.5 - 118.5 mm (4.46 - 4.67 inches) [ECLIPSE] and 126 - 130 mm (4.9 - 5.1 inches) [ECLIPSE SPYDER].




2. The clearance between the glass and the glass catch should be within the range of standard values (a, c, e, g) when the window is fully closed and the door is closed gently.

Standard value
a. : 2.9 ± 1.0 mm (0.11 ± 0.04 inches)
c. : 4.5 ± 1.0 mm (0.18 ± 0.04 inches)
e. : 5.0 mm (0.20 inches)
g. : 3.4 mm (0.13 inches)
i. : 10.7 ±1.0 mm (0.42 ± 0.04 inches)
j. : 8.7 mm (0.32 inches)

NOTE: If the clearance is too small, the glass catch will move above the glass when the door is closed. If the clearance is too large, wind noise may be generated at high vehicle speeds because the glass catch is not hooked onto the glass.

3. The amount of catch of the door catch on the door glass and the weatherstrip should be at the standard values b, d, f:
When the window is closed fully and then the door is closed.

Standard value
b. : 2.7 ± 1.0 mm (0.11 ± 0.04 inches)
d. : 2.7 ± 1.0 mm (0.11 ± 0.04 inches)
f. : 8.0 mm (0.32 inches)
h. : 2.4 ± 1.0 mm (0.09 ± 0.04 inches)

4. The door glass should slide smoothly over its full range of movement when the door is closed.
5. The glass catch and the weatherstrip should be parallel with the door glass and the two up-stops should touch simultaneously when the glass is fully closed.
