  1. Temporarily tighten one adjusting bolt on one side of rear sash at the midpoint of slotted hole in the inner panel.
  2. Temporarily tighten regulator B-channel in a position slightly lower than midpoint of slotted hole.
  3. Lower door glass 10 to 15 mm (0.39 to 0.59 in) from fully closed position. While applying outward pressure of 45+/-5 N (4.59+/-0.51 kgf, 10.1+1.1 lb) (F) to upper edge of glass above midpoint of two outer stabilizers, press inner stabilizer at 10+/-5 N (1.02+/-0.51 kgf, 2.2+/-1.1 lb) until it just touches the glass, then secure it.
  4. For adjustment of clearance between front and rear glasses, loosen nuts (A), and move glass sash back and forth until clearance becomes the value shown.
  5. For adjustment of upper and lower ends of center pillar, loosen adjusting nut (A) of B-channel (B).
  6. Adjust so that upper and lower ends of center pillar are the same size.
  7. For glass stroke adjustment, close door, raise glass until positional relationship between glass and weatherstrip becomes as shown. And secure the glass so that upper stopper lightly touches the glass holder.
  8. After stabilizer adjustment, carry out glass crimp adjustment. First, visually ensure positional relationship between retainer & molding and glass 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, 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. CAUTION: Do not tilt sash bracket to inner panel during adjustment. Otherwise smooth regulator operation cannot be achieved.
  10. Make adjustment of front sash in the same manner as that of rear sash. CAUTION: 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.
  11. After adjustments, tighten nuts.
  12. After adjustment of glass, 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 gusset to prevent generation of wind noise.
  13. During adjustments, loosen other three clamping bolts.
  14. After adjustment, tighten bolts and nuts.

  6. Loosen four bolts and two nuts to pull out regulator assembly.
  7. Loosen screws to remove motor assembly.

  1. Adjust glass position using the following dimensions as a guide line. CAUTION: If dimensions are smaller than the given dimensions, glass may get caught in weatherstrip during lifting/lowering operation. In the worst case, it may cause glass not to be opened fully. After adjustment, move glass up and down to check whether it is caught.
  2. Adjust crimp of glass using the following dimensions as a guide line. CAUTION: If crimp of rear glass is higher than necessary, glass may get caught in weatherstrip of center pillar corner, resulting in early wear of weatherstrip. Be careful when adjusting. After adjustment, move glass up and down to check whether it is caught.
