Note!
To correctly adjust the window vertically and side to side it must be screwed into place as shown.
Adjust carriage height. See other manual: Lifting motor and wire in side window, replacement Section 3(35-38), Lighting, instrumentation and other electrical equipment, C70.
Both carriages (A) must be in contact with the guide rails (B).
Locate the lower shims (C) in their grooves. Install the window, upper shim (D) and washer (E). Finger-tighten screws.
Depress window to the stop lug.
Tighten screws.

Adjusting the front side window vertically
When the door is shut two things happen to the window:
- The window is pressed against the weatherstrip.
- Because of its design the window is pressed upwards.
Caution!
The window must be correctly adjusted so that it is not outside the trim strip when the door is closed.
The door mirror is adjusted last, after adjusting the window to the weatherstrips.
Adjust the upper window position when the cassette is in position in the door. Height can only be adjusted using an adjustment screw on carriage (A).
The door panel must be removed before any adjustment can take place, see 1.
Original position
- The adjustment screw for height adjustment should have the same position as when the wires were removed.
- The carriage (B) without the adjustment screw, should not be secured at the wire.
Reconnect motor connector and switch on ignition. Run the window up so that the adjustment screw on carriage (A) is just in contact with the stop at top of the door.
The front stop should stop 2 mm (see distance (C) in illustration) before the rear stop. If the front stop stops first the motor continues so that the rear stop reaches the top.
The distance between the rail lower edge and the lower edge of the carriage should be 25 mm greater than the corresponding distance at the other carriage according to, See other manual: Lifting motor and wire in side window, replacement Section 3(35-38), Lighting, instrumentation and other electrical equipment, 070.
Mark the wire on the bottom edge of the carriage (B) with a marker pen.
Lower the window a little.
Tighten the screw locking the carriage (B) to the wire at the marker pen marking.
If necessary adjust the adjustment screw on carriage (A). Align door mirror so that there is a straight line between the door and the door mirror. Check the seal between the door mirror and the weatherstrip.
Check for leaks between window and weatherstrip according to, 7.
During the closing movement of the door, when the window passes the outer edge of the rubber strip the distance (A) should be 2 mm vertically between window and molding. Measure 350 mm from the side window rear (B).

Adjusting front side window laterally
The window can be adjusted lateral using two screws in the lower edge of the cassette.
The door panel must be removed before any adjustment can take place, see 1.

Checking seal, front side window
Check that the window makes a seal with the weatherstrip around the door opening by folding a piece of paper in two and pulling it out. It should be hard to pull the paper out but not so hard that the paper rips.
Hint:
Tape the end of the paper and make a hole in the center where the tape is placed. Install spring scales 998 5494 in the hole and pull the paper loose. Force required should be between 12 - 22 N. Check that the window is in contact with the weatherstrip all the way around the window using the paper.
Spray water over the upper section of the B post weatherstrip.
Close the door to the first catch point. The door should not be shut completely.
The corner of the window should lie B post trim.
If the window is sealed to the weatherstrip a water bead should form, see illustration. The water bead should be a maximum of 50 mm long, see illustration, The width and shape of the water bead can vary by between 3-6 mm.
If the door is not sufficiently tight, adjust the window.
Spray water over the whole B post weatherstrip. Close the door completely.
The rear of the window should lie against the whole of the B post weatherstrip.
If the window is sealed to the weatherstrip a water bead should form, see illustration. The water bead should form a maximum of 10 mm under the upper edge of the window and down the length of the B-post. The width and shape of the water bead can vary by between 3-10 mm.
If the door is not sufficiently tight, adjust the window.
Repeat the vertical and side to side adjustment until the window is correctly positioned against the weatherstrip.
When the window is in the correct position, lock the adjustment screws with the locknuts at the lower edge of the power window lift mechanism cassette.

Adjusting doors
- The doors should be easy to open/close.
- The edge of the door should be flush with the outside of the car. The door front edge should be 0-1.5 mm inside the front fender and the rear edge of the door should be 0-1.5 mm outside the bodywork.
Door length can be adjusted by installing or removing shims on the upper and lower hinges.
0.3 and 0.5 mm shims are available as replacement parts.
