ADJUSTMENT
Note. Before adjustment, ensure that all adjusting nuts of stabilizer (inner), upper stopper, and sash are loosened and door glass is raised so that it is in contact with weather strip.
Temporarily tighten one adjusting bolt on one side of rear sash at the midpoint of slotted hole in the inner panel.
Temporarily tighten the regulator B-channel in a position at the top of slotted hole.
Lower the door glass 10 to 15 mm (0.39 to 0.59 in) from fully closed position. While applying outward pressure of 45.0+/-5.0 N (4.5+/-0.5 kgf, 9.9+/-1.1 lb) (F) to the upper edge of glass above midpoint of stabilizer (Outer), press the stabilizer (Inner) at pressure of 30+/-5 N (3.0+/-0.5 kgf, 6.6+/-1.1 lb) to the glass, then secure it.
Scheme 5
- Full close position
- Stabilizer (Outer)
- 10 - 15 mm (0.39 - 0.59 in)
- Upper stopper
For adjustment of clearance between front glass and center pillar cover, loosen the nuts (A), and move the glass sash back and forward until clearance becomes the value shown.
Scheme 6
Scheme 7
- 12 mm (0.472 in)
For adjustment of upper and lower ends of center pillar, loosen the adjusting nut (A) of B-channel (B).
Scheme 8
Adjust so that the upper and lower ends of center pillar are the same size.
Scheme 9
- Narrow
- Wide
- Glass tilts too far rearward
- Glass tilts too far forward
- Raise B channel
- Lower B channel
For glass stroke adjustment, set the ST on glass and close the door, raise glass until positional relationship between glass and weather strip becomes as shown. And secure the glass so that the upper stopper lightly touches the glass holder.

Scheme 10
- 2.7 - 4.3 mm (0.106 - 0.169 in)
- 4 - 6 mm (0.157 - 0.236 in)
- ST
For preventing wind noise, adjust the glass at the position where tip of gusset is raised up a little.
Scheme 11
- 0 - 1.5 mm (0 - 0.059 in)
After stabilizer adjustment, carry out the glass crimp adjustment. First, visually ensure positional relationship between retainer & molding and glass of the roof side, and then begin with rear sash adjustment. Set the ST on glass, and then adjust two adjusting bolts alternately step by step to obtain dimensions shown below (cross-section A).
ST 32005171 SPACER (For front door glass of thickness 5 mm (0.197 in))
Note. If two nuts are loosened at the same time, sash moves back and forth. Therefore, when one nut is adjusted, leave the other secured.
Make the same adjustment of two adjusting bolts of rear sash.
Scheme 12
- 2.7 - 4.3 mm (0.106 - 0.169 in)
- 4 - 6 mm (0.157 - 0.236 in)
- ST
Note. Do not tilt the sash bracket to inner panel during adjustment. Otherwise smooth regulator operation cannot be achieved.
Scheme 13
- Sash bracket
- Rear sash
- Adjust a line parallel
- Sash
- Inner panel
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 application of excessive load to regulator.
After adjustments, tighten the nuts.
After adjustment to glass, close the door. If there is a gap between outer lip of gusset and glass surface, adjust the gap with adjusting bolt (A) in lower fitting part of the gusset to prevent generation of wind noise.
During adjustments, loosen the other three clamping bolts.
Scheme 14
After adjustment, tighten the bolts and nuts.
Note. The rear door glass, as a rule, should be adjusted in the same manner as front door glass, although they are different in dimension. Special notes for the rear glass are given below.
Adjust the glass position using the following dimensions as a guide line.
Scheme 15
- 12 mm (0.472 in
Note. If the dimensions are smaller than the given dimensions, glass may get caught in weather strip during lifting/lowering operation. In the worst case, it may cause the glass not to be opened fully. After adjustment, move the glass up and down to check whether it is caught.
Set the ST on glass, and then adjust the contact degree of glass using the following dimensions as a guide line.
ST 32005172 SPACER (For rear door glass of thickness 4 mm (0.157 in))
Scheme 16
- 3.7 - 5.3 mm (0.146 - 0.209 in)
- 4.6 mm (0.157 - 0.236 in)
- ST
Note. If the contact degree of rear glass is higher than necessary, glass may get caught in weather strip of center pillar corner, resulting in early wear of weather strip. Be careful when adjusting. After adjustment, move the glass up and down to check whether it is caught.
