load on the glass. Therefore, the outside of glass
is less vulnerable to damage.
On power window equipped vehicles, the power
window switch has been changed to lower the door
glass when the knob is pressed in, and raise the
door glass when the knob is pulled up.

HOLDING OF DOOR GLASS

When fully raised, stabilizer hook on the door glass
catches the inner stabilizer cushion to hold the door
glass securely and draw it inward. In addition, from
outside the door glass, the door glass stabilizer pres-
ses glass striker and the door glass inward.

WHEN DOOR GLASS BEGINS TO OPEN

The glass striker moves down with the door glass,

against the glass. Therefore, the outside of glass
is less vulnerable to damage.
NOTE
