remove striker assembly and move thread plate over
keeping one bolt in plate so it will not fall between
inner and outer panels.
(3) Adjust the C-pillar striker in or out until the
door is flush. Then, the on size hole can be elongated
in the direction required. This can be done by grind-
ing or filing the sheet metal and then painting raw
edge to prevent rusting.

cover.

tion use a heavy rubber mallet on the door assembly
until door is in specifications.

C-pillar to determine which area is contributing the
greatest to the incorrect gaps.

(f) Verify alignment adjust as necessary.
(6) If the sliding door is high at the B-pillar;
(a) Remove access plug in the sliding door trim
panel.
(b) Open the door to mid-point of travel.
(c) Mark outline of lower roller arm bracket on
sliding door to assist in making adjustments.
(d) Loosen lower roller arm bracket bolts (Fig.
15).
(e) Move hinge upward to raise the door.
(f) Tighten lower roller arm bracket bolts to 13
N´m (115 in. lbs.) torque.
(g) Verify alignment, adjust as necessary.
(7) Fully open the sliding door.
(8) Verify that all center hinge bolts are tight.
(9) Adjust the rear of the sliding door up by turn-
ing the center hinge bolt clockwise (Fig. 14).
(10) Close the door and check the sliding door
alignment.
(11) Adjust the front of the sliding door up by
adjusting lower hinge bolts.

A non-calibrated Occupant Classification Module
(OCM) is the only component of the Occupant Clas-
sification System (OCS) that is available for separate
service replacement, as outlined in the procedures
that follow. The OCS components of the passenger
side front seat cushion including the cushion frame,
springs, pad, occupant detection bladder, pressure
sensor, seat cushion foam and the OCM are a factory-
calibrated and assembled unit. Once this unit is con-
nected to a vehicle electrically, the calibration
settings are uploaded from the OCM and stored in
the memory of the Airbag Control Module (ACM). If
only the OCM is subsequently replaced, the new,
non-calibrated OCM learns the proper calibration
settings from the ACM after it is connected to the
vehicle electrically.
If any of the remaining OCS components of the
passenger side front seat cushion require replace-
ment, they are serviced only as a factory-calibrated,
assembled, and tamper-evident service replacement
package. This package includes the assembled frame,
springs, pad, bladder, sensor, foam, wiring and a cal-
ibrated OCM. When installing this package, always
replace all of the existing components with the new
components as a unit. Do not attempt to separate or
disconnect any of the new OCS components con-
tained in the service replacement package from each
other, and do not attempt to reuse any of the
replaced components in this or any other vehicle.
Once any of the original factory-installed compo-
nents except the OCM have been replaced with the
service replacement package components, the OCM
can only be serviced by replacing the entire passen-
ger side front seat cushion unit with another com-plete service replacement package. (Refer to 23 -

REAR WINDOW REMOVAL ± EXTERIOR METHOD
(1) Remove rear window wiper arm.
(2) Remove interior trim covers.
(3) Disconnect wires for electrically heated win-
dow, if equipped.
(4) Using a sharp cold knife, cut urethane adhe-
sive attaching the rear window to the liftgate. A
power cutting device can be used if available (Fig. 1).
(5) Remove rear window from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Refer to the Safety Precautions in this section for
description of tools and adhesive systems that are
recommended for use in this procedure.
CAUTION: Open the left front door glass before
installing rear window to avoid pressurizing the
passenger compartment. If a door is slammed
before urethane bonding is cured, water leaks can
result.
Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to cure before
returning the vehicle to use.
To avoid stressing the replacement rear window,
the urethane bonding material on the rear window
fence should be smooth and consistent to the
shape of the replacement glass.
(1) Place replacement glass into rear window open-
ing.
(2) Verify the glass lays evenly against the pinch
weld fence at the sides, top and bottom of the
replacement rear window. If not, the urethane adhe-
sive remaining on the fence must be formed to the
shape of the new glass.
(3) Using a grease pencil, mark the glass and lift-
gate in several locations to aid installation.
(4) Remove replacement glass from liftgate open-
ing.
(5) Position the rear window inside up on a suit-
able work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by
10 cm by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks,
placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 2).
