Adjusting Door Glass Guide and Stops

[NEW]
NOTE:
This procedure is rarely required on both doors, and needs to be done only if the glass touches the glass guide.





[NEW]
1. Check for a polish mark on the edge of the door glass where the glass meets the glass guide.

^ If you do not see a polish mark on either window, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If you see a polish mark on one of the windows, continue with step 2.

2. Remove the glass guide. Then slightly bend it with vise-grip pliers, and reinstall it, making sure it does not contact the glass.

3. Test-drive the vehicle.
