Chart A4 Glass Run Channel Gapping to W/S Side Reveal Molding

Moderate levels of wind rush can be detected when the auxiliary sealing lip of the glass run channel is gapping along the front windshield pillar. The condition is most sensitive to gaps at the very top of the pillar, in the joint between the windshield side reveal molding, windshield upper reveal molding and roof drip rail (See figure).

Repair Method:

The simplest method of repair is to carefully pull the adhesive sealing tape that holds the glass run channel to the door frame loose from the door. Reposition the glass run channel in a way that pulls the auxiliary lip further into the door opening. It will be necessary to apply a length of double face tape such as 3M Part No. 06382 Scotch-Mount or equivalent to properly re-attach the run channel to the door frame. In some cases where the condition cannot be corrected by the simple adjustment, the door fit itself will have to be adjusted to correct the condition. Road test to assure the condition is repaired.
