SERVICE PROCEDURE

Mark the door glass before removal

^ You must adjust the door glass on the Coupe and the Roadster after it is re-installed. Otherwise, it may hit the roof when the door is opened and closed.

^ You must mark the door glass before you remove it. This will greatly help you re-install it to its original adjustment position.





1. Open the door and put tape on the top edge of the door glass (see Figure 1).

2. Close the door and allow the window to raise to its normal closed position.





3. Using the lower edge of the roof line as a guide:

Mark the window position with a pen (see Figure 2).

NOTE:
This marked position will be used to set the window adjustment when it is re-installed.

Replace the window regulator and re-install the door glass

1. Remove the door module assembly.

^ Refer to GW/Front Glass and Regulator/Removal and Installation in the appropriate ESM for removal instructions.

2. Replace the window regulator with the part listed in the Parts Information section.

2. While pressing and holding the reset switch:

Lower glass to the bottom position.

3. Release the reset switch, and check that the reset switch returns (pops up) to the original position.

4. Then raise the glass to the top position.

Adjust the door glass

2. Using the location marked in step 3:
