Window positioning Options

[kgr-gts]

Hey guys,

I had an air leak in my passenger side window so I had to move it around a bit. (I think it was put in the wrong place when the doorlock was repaired)

I've stopped the air leak, but now as I close the door, the window ever-so-slightly makes contact with the front of the plastic piece of the quarter panel window.

When the door is in its final closed position, the window appears to be in the correct place - about 1/8 inch away from the plastic piece. My concern is that in the winter, the brittle plastic piece may break when the window brushes it on the way in.

I don't know anybody else with a 6th gen that I can look at... should the window touch the plastic of the quarter window while it's closing?

Thanks

Kevin

ive had almost hte same problem since my pass side window was replaced...just not adjusted properly

take off the door panel and adjust the rear bolt that is used to adjust the window. lower it 1/8 inch or whatever you need to make it not hit. Thats it. I did it to mine and it was pretty easy

Yeah, there are a couple bolts that may behind some clear plastic covering to adjust the window. I had to do this when I got my power window kit, because on the passenger side the window would go up too high and the door wouldn't close easily.

thanks for the info.

I tried to adjust the window by loosening those 3 bolts on the carrier, but it won't budge. how much force am i supposed to put on it? it feels like i'm going to bust something if i try any harder.

Is there some kind of trick to this? from what I can see, the window should just slide around when i loosen those bolts.

get some one to help you out when you do that.. have the hold the window and then losen all the bolts.. then adjust the window.. there should me marks on the door that show you were all the bols should line up.. once you find that.. your window should be set.. tighten all the bolts.. till the windw doesn't wiggle at all.. then your set..

that's weird. you make it sound like the window should be completely free to move once i loosen those bolts. ("have somebody hold it")

i can't move it at all. i loosen the bolts and it just sits there. i don't need to hold it. i can see how i'd be able to move it around in the carrier holes, but nothing's moving. it's like one of the bolts is still locked up tight, but i loosened all 3.

i know it can't be completely jammed in place because the body shop just moved it when they fixed the door lock. (nice job guys... try putting it in the right place next time). i'm sure i've got the right 3 bolts so i really don't have a clue what's going on.

oh well... i guess i'll just take it back to the body shop and say "fix it" the next chance i can get in there.

thanks for the help anyway guys!

just make sure it the 2 bolts that are inside the blue caps

[Jeremy1210]

there should be 2 bolts that adjust the window, not 3. Those 2 bolts are at the top of the door. They are covered by plastic. If you look down the window opening, you will see 2 blue(mine are) colored plastic pieces. Those are the window stops. Those are the 2 things that youwant to adjust.

[kgr-gts]

aren't the window stops only used for adjusting how high the window goes up? the window goes up to the correct height, but I need to move it forward and tilt the front end down slightly. the shop manual shows 3 bolts on the carrier at the middle of the door.

[Jeremy1210]

as far as moving forward, I don't know, but couldn't you tilt the front down by just lowering the window adjuster in the front?
