Window Glass: Adjustments

CAUSES OF SLOW MOVING GLASS

CAUTION: Disconnect the power window switch when working inside the driver door. When operated, the Express Up/Down Feature allows the door window to move very quickly, without stopping, which could cause personal injury.

1. Listed below are four conditions that may cause a window to operate slowly:
^ The window run channel outboard lip at the rearview mirror is rolled over or the glass run channel outboard lip at the center pillar is rolled over.
^ The window run channel is not seated at the center pillar.
^ The window is misaligned in the opening.
