TECHNICAL

Subject:
Slow/Non-Moving (Chatters/Noisy) Glass, Bent Regulator Arms or Window is inoperative (Replace Run Channel and/or Weatherstrip)

Condition

Some customers may comment that the front door glass is slow or noisy when moving up or down or the window is inoperative.

Cause

The window run channel may be adjusted improperly which may cause the following:

^ The glass may be slow/non-moving.

^ The glass wears through the flocking on the weatherstrip and allows direct contact between the glass and the rubber of the weatherstrip, which causes drag.

^ Bent regulator arms may be due to glass drag from the run window channel.

Correction

Adjust the window run channel upper attachment full forward and the lower attachment full rearward. Replace run channel and/or weatherstrip, if necessary.
