Front Door Window Glass: Adjustments
DOOR GLASS ADJUSTMENTCHECKING THE FRONT WINDOW GLASS SETTINGS
NOTE: Conduct all checks and adjustments with the engine running to ensure adequate voltage is maintained at the power window motors.
1. Place masking tape on the edge of the door glass in the positions as shown in the illustration.
2. Mark the tape from the catch lip as in cross sections A-A and B-B and measure from the edge of the door glass to the mark on the tape with the door open. This will give dimensions "D" and "E" (glass intrusion).
Standard value:
(D) 2.4 ± 1.0 mm (0.09 ± 0.039 in.)
(E) 3.4 ± 1.0 mm (0.13 ± 0.039 in.)
3. Mark the tape on the "B" pillar 100 mm from the glass catch at the top and 100 mm from the bottom. Measure from "B" pillar to the edge of the glass in both positions. This will give cross section C-C Measurement "F" (glass margin).
Standard value: 12.7 - 1.0 mm (0.5 - 0.039 in.) (parallel within 1.5 mm [0.059 in.])
4. With the glass fully raised, close the door until the rear corner of the door glass just contacts the door seal and measure the distance between the rear edge of the opened door panel and the adjacent panel (rear door) at the widest point of door (soft touch).
Standard value: 20 - 25 mm (0.78 - 0.98 in.) if weatherstrip is new.
Standard value: 15 - 20 mm (0.59 - 0.78 in.) if weatherstrip fitted for more than 7 days
5. Remove the belt line moulding and check the door glass stabilizer setting using a suitable gauge, while maintaining an inboard preload condition on the top of the glass of 2 kg (4.4 lbs.) force (or sufficient force to ensure that the stabilizer block fibres are being compressed).
Standard value: 11.0 ± 0.5 mm (0.43 ± 0.020 in.)
6. Check the top delta setting position between the delta hard surface and top edge of the glass.
Standard value: 0 ± 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
Ensure the top of the delta and the surface of the glass are aligned.
Standard value: 0 ± 1 mm (0.039 in.)
NOTE: If all dimensions are in specification the customer concern is probably caused by a condition other than door glass settings.
REAR WINDOW GLASS SETTINGS
1. Place masking tape on the edge of the door glass in the positions as shown in the illustration.
2. Mark the tape from the catch lip on the top front piece of tape at cross section J-J.
Measure from the edge of the door glass to mark on the tape. This gives dimension "N" (glass intrusion).
3. Mark the tape on the "B" pillar 100 mm up and 100 mm down from the glass catch. Measure from the rib on the "B" pillar weather strip to the edge of the glass in both positions. This will give cross section l-l dimension "M" (glass margin).
4. Measure the distance between the rear edge of the glass and the "C" pillar moulding at cross section K-K. This will give dimension "P".
Standard value:
(M)12.7 ± 1.0 mm (0.5 ± 0.039 in.) (parallel within 1.5 mm [0.059 in.])
(N)3.4 ± 1.0 mm (0.13 ± 0.039 in.)
(P)4.2 ± 1.0 mm (0.17 ± 0.039 in.)
5. Raise the rear glass fully (engine running), close the door until the rear corner of the door glass just contacts the door seal and measure the distance between the rear edge of the opened door panel and the adjacent panel (rear fender) at the widest point (soft touch).
Standard value: 20 - 25 mm (0.78 - 0.98 in.) if weatherstrip is new.
Standard value: 15 - 20 mm (0.59 - 0.78 in.) if weatherstrip fitted for more than 7 days
6. Remove the belt line moulding and check the door glass stabilizer setting using a suitable gauge, while maintaining an inboard preload condition on the top of the glass of 2 kg (4.4 lbs.) force (or sufficient force to ensure that the stabilizer block fibres are being compressed).
Standard value:
Front stabilizer 13 ± 0.5 mm (0.51 ± 0.197 in.)
Rear stabilizer 13 ± 0.5 mm (0.51 ± 0.197 in.)
NOTE: If all dimensions are in specification, the customer concern is probably caused by a condition other than door glass settings.
DOOR GLASS ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Do not attempt door glass adjustment unless glass settings have been confirmed as being incorrect.
FRONT DOOR
1. Wind the glass fully up (engine running).
2. Remove the door trim, waterproof film and belt line moulding.
3. Loosen the two top regulator attaching nuts.
4. Check and adjust the door glass stabilizer settings ensuring the adjusting screw is held while tightening the lock nut. Tighten the regulator attaching nuts and then re-install the belt line moulding.
5. Loosen the mounting bolts and nuts for up stops, delta sash, carrier plate, and regulator (bottom).
NOTE: Mark the position of all bolts and nuts before loosening so that they can be returned to the original position if necessary. Conduct all checks and adjustments with the engine running to ensure adequate voltage is maintained at the power window motors.
6. With the window up, close door carefully.
7. Hold the door glass with both hands, (one hand through the rear window) push the glass towards the glass catch to achieve the glass position specification in the glass catch (glass intrusion) and the "B" pillar glass margin.
8. If the specification is achieved, keep the door closed and from the inside of the vehicle push the up stops to the glass stops and tighten. Tighten the carrier plate bolts, open the door and tighten the regulator bottom bolts.
9. Check soft touch and if necessary adjust the lower regulator mounting studs and retighten.
10. Recheck the glass intrusion, "soft touch" and glass margin. Alter glass intrusion by moving the up stops. Alter "soft touch" by adjusting the lower regulator mounting studs.
CAUTION: To avoid rattles and thread damage always ensure each adjustment stud/bolt has a minimum of one and a half threads of protrusion and are equal at stabilizers and lower track attachments.
If margin is incorrect, repeat steps 5-10.
11. With the glass fully raised, press the delta onto the glass so that the delta setting is the standard value.
12. Confirm that door can be closed without glass hitting catch.
13. Confirm that the glass adjustment has not shifted by raising glass with door closed, any glass shift can be rectified by lowering the glass, loosening the top two carrier plate bolts and rotating the glass towards the "B" pillar at the top.
14. Install the waterproof film and door trim.
15. Perform a leak test to confirm that water does not leak into the interior.
REAR DOOR
1. Remove the door trim, waterproof film, and belt line moulding.
2. Fully raise the door glass (engine running) and check the door glass stabilizer settings using a suitable gauge. If adjustment is required, loosen top studs on guide tracks, adjust the settings and retighten studs. Reinstall belt line mouldings.
3. Loosen the upper mounting studs and nuts for the front glass guide track, rear glass guide track, up stops and equalizer arm bracket.
4. Move the door glass backwards and forwards by moving the rear glass guide track and at the same time tilt the glass by moving the equalizer arm bracket to set the glass margin, "C" pillar gap and door glass intrusion then tighten the equalizer arm bracket and guide track upper studs.
5. Hold the up stops against the regulator lift arm and tighten.
6. Verify the "soft touch" setting and if necessary adjust by turning the glass track upper studs.
NOTE: Rear glass has two soft touch adjusters, always adjust rear track upper attachments to maximum outer then adjust front track upper attachments inwards to avoid glass digging into weatherstrip at "B" pillar.
7. Lower and raise the door glass and verify that all dimensions are correct.
Alter glass intrusion by moving the up stops. Alter "soft touch" by adjusting the guide track upper studs. If glass margin is incorrect repeat steps 3-7.
8. Install the waterproof film and door trim.
9. Perform a leak test to confirm that water does not leak into the interior.
CAUTION: To avoid rattles and thread damage always ensure each adjustment stud/bolt has a minimum of one and a half threads of protrusion and are equal at stabilizers and lower track attachments.
