Category

Applicable Model/s

Subject:
GLASS RUN CHANNEL WRINKLES

AFFECTED MODELS
All 1992-95 MX-3
1996 MX-3 with a VIN of JM1EC43**T0500339 and lower (Canadian Market Only).

DESCRIPTION





The glass run channel may become wrinkled after opening and closing the window repeatedly. This action causes the glass run channel to slide up the sash and gather at the top resulting in wrinkles or sagging in that area. To increase the holding strength of the glass run channel, the thickness of the channel's butyl tape has increased. Customers complaining of this concern should have the glass run channel replaced according to the instruction in this bulletin.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Verify concern.

2. Remove the following:

^ Door Trim

^ Inner Garnish

3. Remove the glass run channel and clean the door sash.





4. Apply three (3) pieces of double sided tape (60 mm long X 15 mm wide X 1 mm thick) on top of and over-lapping the butyl tape. Refer to Fig. 2.

5. Apply four (4) pieces of double sided tape (100 mm long X 15 mm wide X 1 mm thick) 10 mm from the butyl tape. Refer to Fig. 2.

NOTE:
Tape should not exceed a total thickness of 4 mm. Silicone has been applied to the glass run channel. Degrease the area prior to applying tape.
