Repair Procedure

  1. Remove the door trim and top portion of the door screen according to procedures in section S of the Workshop Manual.
  2. Adjust upper door glass stops.
    1. Lower the door glass 10mm (3/8 in) from full up position.
    2. Loosen both upper door glass stops. Figure 1.
    3. Lower both upper stops 3mm (1/8 in) and tighten the bolts. Figure 2.
    4. Raise the door glass completely.
      Note: When the door glass is raised, both glass stops must contact the upper stop at the same time.
