The rear quarter glass can be adjusted in three
planes, Lateral, Up and Down, and Front to Rear.
During initial assembly, assuming that the door is
correctly gapped and profiled, the door glass is set
to the upper 'A' post seal and the front frame seal.
The rear quarter glass is then set to the door glass.
Both glass tops should be accurately aligned and
there should be a minimum 2mm gap between the
glasses. Any minor adjustments are then made
using the following procedures.

adjuster stud locknuts and special washers (Fig 7-

screw clockwise to move the glass inboard or anti-

Refit the special washers, refit and tighten the
locknuts. Refit the rear quarter trim panel.
Front to Rear Adjustment

three adjuster stud locknuts. Adjust the glass front
