ADJUSTMENT

NOTE:

Before adjustment, ensure that all adjusting nuts of stabilizer, upper stopper and sash are loose and door glass rises until it makes contact with the weather strip.

1. Temporarily tighten the adjusting nut on one side of rear sash at the midpoint of slotted hole in the inner panel.

2. Temporarily tighten the regulator B channel at the top position of slotted hole.

3. Lower the door glass 10 — 15 mm (0.39 — 0.59 in) from fully closed position. While applying an outward pressure (F) of 45.0±5 N (4.6±0.5 kg, 5.5±1.1 lb) to the upper edge of the glass above the midpoint of the two outer stabilizers, press the inner stabilizer to the glass at a pressure of 25±5 N (2.5±0.5 kgf, 5.5±1.1 lb) to secure it.

For preventing wind noise, adjust the glass at the position where tip of gusset is raised up a little.

0 — 1.5 mm (0 — 0.059 in)

8. After stabilizer adjustment, carry out glass cohesion adjustment. First, visually ensure positional relationship between retainer & molding and glass of the roof side, and then begin with rear sash adjustment. Adjust two adjusting bolts alternately step by step to obtain dimensions shown below (cross-section A).

NOTE:

If two nuts are loosened at the same time, the sash moves back and forth. Therefore, when one nut is adjusted, secure the other.

9. Make the same adjustment of two adjusting bolts of rear sash.

10. Make adjustment of front sash in the same manner as that of rear sash.

NOTE:

Although front and rear sashes must, as a rule, be adjusted in the same manner, in some door installation, the adjustment in a different manner may be required. However, adjustment of one sash to the maximum amount and the other to the minimum amount is not permitted. Such adjustment may result in applying excessive load against regulator.

11. After adjustments, tighten the nuts.

12. After adjustment of the glass, close the door. If there is a gap between outer lip of gusset and glass surface, adjust the gap with adjusting nut (A) in lower fitting part of gusset to prevent generation of wind noise.

13. During adjustment, loosen the other three clamping screws.

14. After adjustment, tighten the bolts and nuts.
