5-2SERVICE PROCEDURE
6. Rear Window Glass

1. Door Glass
Condition Apparent cause/Correction
Glass in fully closed
position1) Glass runs out of weatherstrip lip when considerable hand
pressure is applied to it from inside.
G5M0502(This condition may cause wind/booming noise during high-
speed operation.)Insufficient upward travel of glass
Increase upward travel of glass.
2) Clearance exists between glass and weatherstrip when light
hand pressure is applied to it at center and rear pillar
locations.
G5M0503(This condition may cause wind noise and/or water leakage.)Insufficient glass-to-door
weatherstrip contact
Check stabilizer and glass for
proper contact. Increase contact
using upper sash adjustment bolt.
Improper adjustment of striker in
in-out direction
Close door and check for alignment
of striker with vehicle body.
3) Adjust door glass so that it is aligned with door rearview
mirror gusset.
G5M0504
Window is not properly adjusted in
up-down/fore-aft direction.
Adjust window. If necessary, move
B channel regulator to eliminate
window tilt.
Gusset is not properly adjusted in
fore-aft direction.
Adjust gusset after loosing all bolts
and nuts witch tightening it.

5-2DIAGNOSTICS
1. Door Glass

Condition Apparent cause/Correction
Door in fully closed/
open position1) Glass rides over weatherstrip lip when door is closed.
G5M0505(This condition increases wind/booming noise, leakage and/or
effort required to close door.)Improper up-down and in-out glass
alignments
Adjust glass for up-down and in-out
alignments (incl. rear sash, upper
stopper adjustment, etc.). If
necessary, correct glass tilt by
moving B channel regulator.
2) Edge of glass contacts retainer when door is fully closed.
G5M0506
Improper glass-to-center pillar
weatherstrip or excessive glass
contact to weatherstrip
Excessive adjusting in contact to
weatherstrip
Causes rear edge of glass to tilt
inboard closer to center pillar.
Adjust rear sash adjustment bolt to
reduce glass contact to
weatherstrip.
Raise or lower
window glass1) Considerable effort or time is required to operate regulator.
Standard operating effort:
Entire up-down travel except for point 5 mm (0.20 in)
below fully closed position:
29.4 N (3.0 kg, 6.6 lb)
Point 5 mm (0.20 in) below fully closed position:
44.1 N (4.5 kg, 9.9 lb)
G5M0507
Sliding resistance increased due to
high stabilizer-to-glass contact
pressure.
Reduce contact by mounting inner
stabilizer to inside of the vehicle.
High glass-to-windshield contact
pressure
Reduce contact using upper sash
adjustment bolt.
Unequal contact adjustment stroke
between front and rear sashes
Set to equal stroke.
Tilt of rear sash adjustment bolt
mounting bracket
Correct tilt of bracket so it is
parallel to inner panel.

5-2DIAGNOSTICS
1. Door Glass

Condition Apparent cause/Correction
Raise or lower
window glass2) Center pillar weatherstrip is caught by rear window glass
when glass is raised.
G5M0508
Improper fore-aft or in-out
alignment of window glass
Lower B channel regulator to tilt
window glass back.
3) Window glass tilts forward by more than 2 mm (0.08 in).
G5M0509Excessive tilt of glass forward is due to excessive glass
“contact”which causes reaction of center pillar weatherstrip.
Glass can be tilted forward due to increase in reaction of
shoulder weatherstrip or free play between sash and roller.
Taking these symptoms into account, glass should be aligned.Excessive glass contact pressure
or improper in-out alignment
1) Lower B channel regulator to tilt
window glass rearward.
2) Reduce contact pressure using
upper sash adjustment bolt.
