2. Loosen mounting screws approximately one rotation.
Adjust striker (1) position by lightly tapping with hammer.
(To adjust, utilize the shape of striker nut plate (2) support.)
CAUTION:
- Use cloth to prevent damaging body or other parts.
- Do not directly tap striker plastic portion.
- Do not apply impact on spot-welded striker nut plate.

2. PROCEDURE CHART FOR ADJUSTING DOOR GLASS
3. FRONT DOOR GLASS
Front Door Glass:
- Door glass fit adjustment
Before adjusting door glass alignment, ensure adjusting bolts for stabilizers, upper stoppers and sashes are loose and glass is raised so that it is in contact with upper and side weatherstrip.
1. Temporarily tighten one of the two rear sash adjusting bolts, at midpoint of oblong hole on inner panel.
2. Temporarily tighten B channel regulator at a position slightly lower than midpoint of oblong hole on inner panel.
3. Lower door glass 10 to 15 mm (0.39 to 0.59 in) from fully closed position. While applying outward pressure (load) to upper edge of glass above midpoint of two outer stabilizers, press inner stabilizer until it just touches the glass, then secure it.
Load: F
Front door glass 39 N (4 kg, 9 lb)
Rear door glass 34.3 N (3.5 kg, 7.7 lb)
- Remedy for unequal dimensions, between upper, lower and center pillar sides
1. Close front door and raise door glass.
2. Make sure of unequal dimensions.
3. If glass tilts to far rearward, loosen adjusting nut (C) and adjust glass to be parallel with center pillar, then after adjustment, tighten adjusting nut (C).
- Remedy for improper glass to center pillar clearance
1. Close front door and raise door glass.
2. Make sure of improper clearance.
3. If clearance is improper, loosen adjusting nut (A), boll (A) and adjust glass to center pillar.
- Remedy for improper upper stop point of door glass
1. Loosen front and rear sash stoppers.
2. Increase the upward travel of window glass up to the position where upper edge just touches weatherstrip surface with door closed.
3. After adjustment, temporarily tighten stoppers.
NOTE: Make sure that each glass stopper is touched.
- Remedy for incorrect contact of door glass to weatherstrip
1. Close front door and raise door glass.
2. If clearance is below specifications, loosen bolt (A) and bolt (B).
3. If clearance is over specifications, tighten bolt (A) and bolt (B).
- Fit adjustment
Door glass fit is adjusted by displacing the glass front edge with a stabilizer.
NOTE: Before adjusting glass fit, visually check to determine relative adjusting positions of retainer and molding (on roof side) and glass surface.
1. Alternately adjust two rear sash adjusting bolts (A) until dimensions (indicated in figure) are obtained.
CAUTION: Do not loosen two adjusting nuts (A) at the same time, as this moves sash fore and aft, creating unequal glass-to-sash clearance. During adjustment, loosen only one nut and keep the other tightened.
NOTE: Always adjust two rear sash adjusting bolts � by the same amount. Do not adjust the adjusting bolts with sash bracket inclined toward inner panel, as this increases effort required to operate regulator.
2. Adjust front sash fit using rear sash adjustment procedure outlined as a guide. Two adjusting bolts must be adjusted by the same amount.
NOTE: Front and rear sash adjustment procedures are basically the same; however, the amount of adjustment is not always the same due to alignment dispersion of individual doors.
Adjust front and rear sash fit, as equally as possible. Otherwise, effort required to operate regulator may increase.
3. After adjusting front sash-to-glass fit, secure front sash.
4. REAR DOOR GLASS
Alignment of rear door glass is basically the same as for the front door glass. Due to slight difference in adjustment dimensions for fore-aft, up-down, and in-out alignments, key points for rear door adjustment are described.
- Fore-aft adjustment
1. Door glass alignment must be adjusted so that glass-to-center pillar fit is equal at all points. Always use dimensions (indicated in figure) as a guide during adjustment.
NOTE: If dimensions are smaller than those indicated, glass will be caught in weatherstrip and may not raise to the fully closed position.
2. After making fore-aft adjustment, raise and lower glass to ensure it is free from any binding.
- Fit adjustment
Increasing contact pressure causes rear door glass to be caught in center pillar upper and lower weatherstrip; this will cause premature weatherstrip wear. For this reason, always use dimensions indicated as a guide during glass fit adjustment.
