MECHANISM
LUBRICATION
The door window mechanism should
be well lubricated to provide ease
of operation. The window glass mech-
anism should be lubricated whenever
the glass channel or window regulator
is removed or excessive effort is re-
quired to operate the windows. To
lubricate a door window mechanism,
apply an even coating of Polyethylene
grease (C4AZ- 19584-A) to the window
regulator rollers, shafts and the en-
tire length of the roller guides as
illustrated by the shaded areas in
Fig. I .

The vent glass and/or the vent
window frame may be adjusted in
various ways. With the vent glass in-
stalled, the lower pivot spring ten-
sion may be adjusted with a socket,
extension, and ratchet used through
the access hole in the door inner
panel. Adjust so that the glass will
stay open at highway speeds. The
door frame mounting holes are
elongated to provide 'a tight fit for
the vent window frame in the door
frame. The upper pivot mounting
holes are slotted to help provide
a weather-proof fit of the glass frame
within the vent window frame.

The in and out position of the top
edge of the door glass and the upper
stops of the window mechanism can
be adjusted without removing the door
trim panel. These adjustments can
be performed as follows:
UPPER FRONT STOP
1. Lower the glass to the full
down position.
2. Insert a 7/16 inch socket into
the glass opening (between the inner
and outer panel) and loosen the up-
per front stop attaching screw (Item
AD, Fig. 2).
3. To raise the stop, slide the
stop toward the front of the door.
To 'lower the stop, slide the stop to-
ward the rear of the door.
4. When the desired stop adjust-
ment is obtained, tighten the stop
attaching screw securely.
UPPER REAR STOP
1. Loosen the two upper rear stop
attaching screws (Item L, Fig. 2).
2. With the window in the full
up position, place the upper rear
stop down against the stop on the
glass' channel. Then, tighten the two
stop attaching screws.
DOOR GLASS TILT
1.
Loosen the front and rear run
retainer attaching screws (Item N
and S, Fig. 2).
2. With the glass up, position
the glass inboard or outboard as re-
quired to obtain proper engagement
of the glass with the roof rail wea-
therstrip and a flush fit with the
quarter window glass. Then, tighten
the two retainer attaching screws
(Items N and S).
3. Raise and lower the glass to
be sure it is free of binds. If any
binding is detected, lower the glass
and loosen the front run retainer
attaching screw. This will correct
any misalignment of the front run with
the rear run. Tighten the front run
retainer attaching screw.
