Front Door Window Glass: Adjustments

- 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 regulator B channel 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, push in inner stabilizer to glass with 1015 N (1.010.5 kg, 2211.1 lb) force, then secure it.

Load: F
Front Door Glass
44.1 ± 4.9 N (4.5 ± 0.5 kg, 9.9 ± 1.1 lb)

Rear Door Glass
44.1 ± 4.9 N (4.5 ± 0.5 kg, 9.9 ± 1.1 lb)

- Remedy for unequal dimensions, between upper, lower and center pillar sides




1. Close front door and raise door glass.
2. Check for unequal dimensions.




3. If glass tilts too far rearward, loosen adjusting nut (3) (A) and adjust glass to be parallel with center pillar, then after adjustment, tighten adjusting nut (3).

Tightening torque:
7.4 ± 2.0 N.m (0.75 ± 0.2 kg-m, 5.4 ± 1.4 ft-lb)

- Remedy for improper glass-to-center pillar clearance
1. Close front door and raise door glass.




2. Check for improper clearance.




3. If clearance is improper, loosen adjusting nut (2) (A), adjusting bolt (2) (B) 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 touching.

- Remedy for incorrect contact of door glass to weatherstrip
1. Close front door and raise door glass.
2. If clearance is below specifications, loosen adjusting bolt (2) and adjusting bolt (1).




3. If clearance is over specifications, tighten adjusting bolt (2) and adjusting bolt (1).

- 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 the two rear sash adjusting bolts (2) until dimensions are obtained.

CAUTION: Do not loosen the two adjusting nuts (2) 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 the two rear sash adjusting bolts (2) by the same amount. Do not adjust the adjusting bolts with the sash bracket inclined toward the inner panel, as this increases effort required to operate the regulator.

2. Adjust the front sash fit using the rear sash adjustment procedure outlined in the former procedure as a guide. The 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.
