Warning
The side impact airbag deployment depends on the front door sensor's ability to detect a side impact from air pressure. Make sure that there are no uncovered holes in the front door shells. Additionally, always reinstall plugs or tape when servicing or inspecting the front doors and their components.

Adjust Isolation Clamps

  1. Check the LH front window glass fitment with a gap and flush tool.
  2. Place two pieces of masking tape over the window glass and LH front door outer belt seal, and then carefully cut across the tape where the glass meets the seal, as illustrated.
    Tip: This step will help you remember the original position of the glass while you are adjusting it.
  3. Open the LH front door and then lower the LH front window.
  4. Remove the LH front door trim panel. See Panel - Door Trim - Front - LH (Remove and Replace).
  5. Remove the regulator isolation clamp door plugs.
  6. Connect the window switch special tool to the door electrical harness, and then raise the LH front window to access the regulator isolation clamps.
  7. Loosen the bolts (x2) that attach the window glass to the regulator isolation clamps by half a turn.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • 13 mm socket
    • 2 in extension
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
  8. Close the LH front door, and then use the window switch special tool to raise the LH front window fully.
  9. Adjust the window glass position, and then hand tighten the bolts (x2).

  10. Check the LH front window glass fitment with a gap and flush tool.
    • If glass fitment is within spec, go to step 8.
    • If glass fitment cannot be brought within spec by adjusting the isolation clamps, proceed to the next step.

Adjust Regulator Angle

  1. Remove the LH front door speaker. See Speaker - Front Door - LH (Remove and Replace).
  2. While holding the mounting stud in position with a 3 mm Allen wrench, loosen the forward and rearward lower regulator mounting nuts by 3 turns.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
    • 2 in extension
    • 3 mm hex
    • 10mm 12pt combination wrench
    Figure 1. Forward and rearward regulator mounting nuts
  3. Adjust the regulator angle by turning the mounting studs.

    Note
    The glass adjustment range is 2 to 14 mm. If the current glass positioning is unknown, loosen the regulator mounting nut and rotate the mounting stud clockwise until it bottoms out, and then turn the stud counterclockwise 2 turns. This will set the glass at the minimum 2 mm.
    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
    • 2 in extension
    • 3 mm hex
  4. After the window glass angle adjustment is complete, hand tighten both lower regulator nuts.
  5. Close the LH front door, and then fully raise the window glass.
  6. Check the LH front window glass fitment with a gap and flush tool and readjust the window glass if necessary.
  7. Remove the strips of masking tape from the vehicle.
  8. Lower the window glass to access the regulator isolation clamps.
  9. Inspect the regulator isolator clamps for glass splinters or other debris, and clean them if necessary.

    Tip: Use of the following tool(s) is recommended:
    • 13 mm socket
    • 2 in extension
    • Ratchet/torque wrench
  11. If previously loosened, tighten the nuts (x2) that attach the window regulator to the inner door.
