Window Glass Adjustment - Front Door, Stabilizer
WINDOW GLASS ADJUSTMENT - FRONT DOOR, STABILIZERInitial Adjustment
NOTE:
- The following procedure must be carried out after a door window glass or a door window regulator and motor is replaced, or removed and re-installed.
- The LH or RH front window motor must be de-initialized, then initialized whenever the front window motor is removed from the window regulator, a new window regulator and motor is installed, a new window glass is installed or for any operation in which grease or lubricants are applied to the window regulator or glass run.
1. Remove the door opening weatherstrip.
2. Close the door.
3. Check the dimension of the gap between the door window glass and the weatherstrip retainer in the locations shown. If the dimension is within the specification, only a final adjustment may be required.
1 Sheet metal
2 Weatherstrip retainer
3 Door window glass
4 10.5 mm (0.41 in) (convertible)
11.5 mm (0.45 in) (coupe)
4. Remove the door trim panel.
5. Remove the water shield.
6. NOTE: As the door window glass is moved up and down, the door window glass clamps have plastic inserts equipped with ramp-style surfaces that tip the glass in or out as the glass assembly is slid up or down.
Loosen the 2 (front and rear) door window glass bolts.
7. Fully close the door.
8. Adjust the door window glass by physically moving the glass to the desired position and tighten the door window glass bolts.
- Tighten to 9 Nm (80 lb-in).
9. From underneath the door, loosen the front window regulator guide rail lock nut.
10. Operate the door window glass to the full down position.
11. Tighten the front window regulator guide rail lock nut.
12. Operate the door window glass to the full up position and verify the dimensions meet the specification as outlined in the initial adjustment graphics. If necessary, re-adjust the glass as outlined in the previous steps.
13. Install the door opening weatherstrip.
14. Install the water shield.
15. Install the door trim panel
16. Initialize the door window motor. For additional information, refer to Window Motor Initialization. Testing and Inspection
17. Operate the window up and down several times to check for smooth operation and adequate sealing properties (it may be necessary to carry out a water leak test with a hose).
Final Adjustment
1. NOTE:
- This procedure should be carried out as a final adjustment to the initial adjustment or can be used as a minor adjustment for the door window glass.
- After the initial adjustment is carried out (or if only a minor adjustment is required) the final adjustment, if necessary, can be made. Use the front and rear window regulator guide rail adjustments for inboard/outboard movement of the door window glass.
- The rear adjustment is a jackscrew that is exposed by removing the round reflector located at the bottom of the door trim panel.
- The front adjustment is a sliding stud and nut located on the bottom of the door.
From underneath the door, loosen the front window regulator guide rail lock nut.
2. Remove the round reflector located at the bottom of the door trim panel.
3. NOTE: The clockwise direction of the jackscrew moves the window regulator guide rail inboard (the door window glass tips outboard), resulting in less seal pressure (maximum of 5 revolutions). The counterclockwise direction of the jackscrew moves the window regulator guide rail outboard (the door window glass tips inboard), resulting in more seal pressure (maximum of 10 revolutions).
Loosen the lock nut, adjust the jackscrew on the rear window regulator guide rail as necessary and tighten the lock nut.
4. From underneath the door, tighten the front window regulator guide rail lock nut.
5. Initialize the door window motor. For additional information, refer to Window Motor Initialization. Testing and Inspection
6. Operate the window up and down several times to check for smooth operation and adequate sealing properties (it may be necessary to carry out a water leak test with a hose).
7. Install the round reflector.
