Parallelism Adjustment Procedure





1. Inspect the window parallelism adjustment. Perform the following steps:

1. Raise the window approximately 13 mm (0.5 in) below the full up position.
2. Inspect for parallelism on the upward motion of the window.
3. Ensure that the gap from the horizontal edge (1) of the window to the weatherstrip is even at the following locations:

* The front of the window
* The rear of the window






2. Perform the following steps to the inner cam bolts (2) in order to adjust the parallelism:

1. Loosen the bolts (1) on the door module (2).
2. Reposition the bolts (1).


Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.

3. Tighten the inner cam bolts.

Tighten the inner panel cam bolts to 11 Nm (97 lb in).




Window Fore and Aft Adjustment Procedure

1. Place the window in the up position.
2. Close the door.
3. Measure the space between the window and the B-pillar weatherstrip retainer.

Important: Moving the window too far will cause the following conditions to occur:


* Increase the door closing effort.

* Reduce the window seal contact at the B-pillar.

* If the space is not within specification, perform the following procedures:



4. Ensure that the space is 6-7 mm (0.25 in).

1. Loosen the regulator to window sash channel (1) bolts.
2. Reposition the window.

Window Up-stop Adjustment





Important: The window upstop adjusters (3) are color coded in the following manner:


* The front upstop adjuster is a neutral color.

* The rear adjuster is black.


The adjuster has a 6 mm (0.23 in) head. One full turn equals 1 mm (0.04 in) of movement of the glass.


While facing the door inner panel, the following conditions may be observed:


* A clockwise rotation moves the window up.

* A counterclockwise rotation moves the window down.


Lower the window slightly in order to relieve pressure before moving the adjusters.

2. Insert a 2.6 cm (1 in) wide roll of masking tape (2) in the weatherstrip retainer assembly (3).
3. Place the window in the full up position.
4. Close the door.
5. Measure the gap between the edge of the weatherstrip retainer assembly (3) and the top edge of the window.
Ensure that the gap is 3 mm (0.125 in).
6. If the gap is not within specifications, perform the following steps:

1. Determine the necessary amount of movement for the assembly.
2. Adjust the upstops, as needed.
