Window Glass: Adjustments
DOOR WINDOW GLASS ADJUSTMENTDOOR WINDOW GLASS SETTING CHECK
FRONT DOOR
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 ± 0.04 in.)
(E) 3.4 ± 1.0 mm (0.13 ± 0.04 in.)
3. Mark the tape on the "B" pillar 100 mm from 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 ± 0.04 in.)
Parallel within 1.5 mm (0.06 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 a line through the center of the door handle ("soft touch").
Standard value: 10-20 mm (0.40-0.80 in.)
5. If the door glass winding effort is high (manual regulator) or the glass operation is slow (power regulator) or the door glass rattles, remove the belt line molding and check the door glass stabilizer setting.
Standard value: 11 ± 0.5 mm (0.43 ± 0.02 in.)
6. Check the top delta setting position.
Standard value: 0.5 mm (0.02 in.)
REAR DOOR
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).
Standard value: 3.4 ± 1.0 mm (0.13 ± 0.04 in.)
3. Mark the tape on the "B" pillar 100 mm up and 100 mm down. Measure from "B" pillar to the edge of the glass in both positions. This will give cross section I-I dimension "M" (glass margin).
Standard value: 12.7 ± 1.0 mm (0.5 ± 0.04 in.) Parallel within 1.5 mm (0.06 in.)
4. Measure the distance between the rear edge of the glass and the "C" pillar molding at cross section K-K. This will give dimension "P".
Standard value: 4.2 ± 1.0 mm (0.16 ± 0.04 in.)
5. 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 fender) at a line through the center of the door handle ("soft touch").
Specifications: 17-20 mm (0.67-0.79 in.)
6. If door glass effort is high (manual regulator) or glass operation is slow (power regulator) or the door glass rattles, remove the belt line molding and check the door glass stabilizer settings.
Specifications:
Front stabilizer 11.0 ± 0.5 mm(0.43 ± 0.02 in.)
Rear stabilizer 12.0 ± 0.5 mm (0.47 ± 0.02 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. Remove the door trim, waterproof film and belt line molding.
2. Check and adjust the door glass stabilizer settings then reinstall the belt line molding.
3. 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.
4. With the window up, close door carefully.
5. 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 margin.
6. If the specification is achieved, keep the door closed and from the inside of the vehicle push the up stops to the glass and tighten. Tighten the carrier plate bolts.
7. Open the door and tighten the regulator bottom bolts.
8. Recheck and confirm all dimensions.
9. Recheck the glass intrusion, "soft touch" and glass margin. Alter glass intrusion by moving the up stops. Alter "soft touch" by adjusting the regulator mounting studs.
CAUTION: Always turn each stud or bolt the same amount.
If margin is incorrect, repeat steps 3-9.
10. With the glass fully raised, press the delta onto the glass so that the delta setting is as specified.
11. Perform a leak test to confirm that water does not leak in the interior.
12. Install the waterproof film and door trim.
REAR DOOR
NOTE: Do not attempt door glass adjustment unless glass settings have been confirmed as incorrect.
1. Remove the door trim, waterproof film, and belt line molding.
2. Fully raise the door glass and check and adjust the door glass stabilizer settings using a suitable tool then re-install the belt line molding.
3. Loosen the 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 lower studs.
5. Hold the 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.
CAUTION: Always turn each adjustment stud the same amount and ensure that the amount of stud protrusion is equal.
7. Lower and raise the door glass and verity that all dimensions are correct. Alter glass intrusion by moving the up stops. Alter "soft touch" by adjusting the regulator guide track upper stops.
If glass margin or "C" pillar gap is incorrect repeat steps 3-7.
8. Perform a leak test to confirm that water does not leak into the interior.
9. Install the waterproof film and door trim.
