C: ADJUSTMENT

NOTE:
Before performing adjustment, ensure that all the
adjusting bolts of stabilizer, upper stopper and sash
are loose, and the door glass can be raised until it
contact with weather strip. 
1) Temporarily tighten the adjusting bolt 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 out-
ward pressure of 45.0

±5.0 N (4.5±0.5 kgf, 9.9±1.1

lbf) F to the upper edge of glass above midpoint of
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 lbf) to secure it.

4) To adjust the clearance between front glass and
center pillar cover, loosen the nuts (A), and move
the glass sash back and forward until clearance be-
comes the value shown.

5) To adjust the upper end and lower end of center
pillar, loosen the stopper bolt (A) or nut (B) securing
door sash (front, rear), and move the stopper until
each clearance from center pillar cover becomes
equal.

CAUTION:
Measure the clearance from center pillar at 
more than 50 mm (1.969 in) apart from the up-
per end of window glass.

6) Adjust so that the clearances at upper and lower
ends of center pillar are equal.

7) After adjusting the clearance from center pillar,
move the glass up and down the glass several
times to check glass contact condition against stop-
per when the glass is fully closed. Adjust so that the
front and rear stoppers contact simultaneously.

8) To adjust the glass stroke, attach the ST to
glass, close the door, and raise the glass to the up-
per end of it with regulator until the positional rela-
tionship between glass and weather strip becomes
the value as shown in the figure. Secure the glass
so that the upper stopper correctly touches the
glass holder.

glass)

To prevent generating wind noise, adjust the glass
in the position where tip of gusset is raised up a lit-
tle.

9) After stabilizer adjustment, carry out the glass
cohesion adjustment. First, visually check the posi-
tional relationship between retainer & molding and
roof side glass, and then begin with rear sash ad-
justment. Attach the ST to glass, and adjust the two
adjusting bolts alternately step by step to obtain di-
mensions shown below (cross-section A).

NOTE:
If two nuts are loosened at the same time, the sash
will move back and forth.Therefore, while adjusting
one nut, secure the other.
