IFit adjustment
Door glass fit is adjusted by displacing the glass
front edge with a stabilizer.
NOTE:
Before adjusting glass fit, visually check to deter-
mine relative adjusting positions of retainer and
molding (on roof side) and glass surface.
1) Alternately adjust the two rear sash adjusting
bolts (2) until dimensions are obtained.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the two adjusting nuts (2) at the
same time, as this moves sash fore and aft,
creating unequal glass-to-sash clearance. Dur-
ing adjustment, loosen only one nut and keep
the other tightened.

IFore-aft adjustment
1) Door glass alignment must be adjusted so that
glass-to-center pillar fit is equal at all points.
Always use dimensions as a guide during adjust-
ment.
NOTE:
If dimensions are smaller than those indicated,
glass will be caught in weatherstrip and may not
raise to the fully closed position.
S5M0384A
2) After making fore-aft adjustment, raise and
lower glass to ensure it is free from any binding.
IFit adjustment
Increasing contact pressure causes rear door
glass to be caught in upper center pillar and lower
weatherstrip; this will cause premature weather-
strip wear. For this reason, always use dimensions
indicated below as a guide during glass fit adjust-
ment.
