Rear Door Repair Procedure

1. With a trim removal tool, carefully press down on the front edge of the power window switch panel between the switch and the door grip cover. This releases the top tab on the cover.





2. While still pressing down on the switch panel, use your free hand to pull the cover away from the switch until the clip below the top tab releases from the door grip.

3. Remove the door panel.

4. Remove the plastic rain protector.





5. Lower the glass all the way. Remove the rear channel, and remove the B-pillar sash trim.

6. Remove the glass mounting bolts.

7. Carefully remove the glass by pulling it out through the window slot.

8. Remove and discard the glass run channel.





9. Inspect the rear center channel for deformation or damage. Replace the damaged channels (see PARTS INFORMATION).





10. Inspect the window regulator for bent arms, and check the sector gear for looseness. Replace the damaged window regulator (see PARTS INFORMATION).

NOTE:
When replacing a rear power window regulator, reuse the original motor.

11. Install the new glass run channel (see PARTS INFORMATION).





12. Install the glass, the B-pillar trim, and the rear channel.

13. Loosen the bolts on the center channel and the rear channel. Move both channels toward the glass, then retighten the bolts.

14. Raise and lower the window several times to make sure the window operates smoothly. If needed, readjust the channels.

15. Reinstall all removed parts.
