CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. Remove the door trim panel and the door window.

2. Replace the glass run channel with the appropriate part listed under PARTS INFORMATION.

3. Reinstall the window.

4. Using a long flat-blade screwdriver, remove the outer window molding by prying up at the rear edge of the door.
CAUTION: Pry carefully to avoid damaging the clips.



5. Grasp the outer door skin at the center of the window sill, and pull away from the car until the curvature of the door conforms with the curvature of the glass.

CAUTION: Pull carefully to avoid deforming the outer door skin.



6. Lower the window and loosen the four bolts holding the front and rear channels.



7. Raise the window halfway and loosen the roller guide bolts. Adjust the roller guide to a position where it is not binding.
