NOTE:
The rear door glass, as a rule, should be adjusted
in the same manner as the front door glass, al-
though they are different in dimension. <Ref. to
GW-12, ADJUSTMENT, Front Door Glass.>
1) Adjust the glass position using the dimensions in
the figure as a guide.

sions, glass may get caught in weather strip during
lifting/lowering operation and may not be fully open.
• After adjustment, move the glass up and down to
check whether it is caught.

2) Attach the special tool to the glass, and adjust
the glass adhesion until the dimensional value be-
comes as shown below.
