SERVICE INFORMATION

On some of the Applied Models, the door waist molding lip folds under at the window mounting button as the window goes down (Figure 1). This occurs when the clearance between the window and the top of the waist molding lip is too small (Figure 2). Starting with the Applied VINs, a bushing, has been slightly modified to allow the button to pass smoothly by the waist molding. This bushing is located between the button and the outside surface of the door glass.

To correct this incident on vehicles built prior to the Applied VINs, Plastic Spacer, P/N 80977-30P00, should be installed using the following service procedure:

1. Lower the window to the lowest point.

2. Remove the cover strip from the double-sided tape on the plastic spacer (Figure 3).

3. Locate the center of the plastic piece about 130 mm (approximately 5-1/8") from the rear end of the molding (Figure 3).

FIGURE 4:

4. Push the piece down to the bottom of the lower molding lip, then press the taped side against the molding while pulling up the upper molding lip (Figure 4).

5. Apply a small amount of 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive (# 8018) or equivalent between the lower molding lip and the plastic piece, then press the lower molding lip against the plastic piece until it holds in place (Figure 4). This will eliminate possible squeaking.
