FITTING INSPECTION
- Check that the glass is fit securely into the sash groove.
- Lower slightly the glass [approximately 10 to 20 mm (0.39 to 0.79 in)] and check that the clearance to the body side weatherstrip is parallel. Loosen the regulator mounting bolts, guide rail mounting bolts, and glass and guide rail mounting bolts to correct the glass position if the clearance between the glass and body side weatherstrip is not parallel.
- Raise the glass fully and adjust the glass top end and body side welt fitting with the adjusting bolt (1), (2), or (3) as shown in the figure below.






NOTE:
- Always start at adjusting bolt (1). If the desired angle is not achieved, then proceed to adjusting bolt (2) and (3) respectively.
- Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise (b) to move the door glass upper end outward.
- Turn the adjusting bolt anticlockwise (a) to move the door glass upper end inward.
- Adjustment process with adjusting bolt (3) is the inverse of adjusting bolt (1) and (2).
- When adjusting with adjusting bolt (3), turn the adjusting bolt clockwise to move the door glass upper end inward, then anticlockwise to move the door glass upper end outward.
