2. Remove the door trim panel. Refer to one of the following procedures:

•	Front Side Door Trim Panel Replacement

•	Rear Side Door Trim Panel Replacement

3. Remove the water deflector. Refer to Door Water Deflector Replacement .



4. Slightly lower the window.

This action relieves excessive pressure on the inner panel cam.

5. Loosen the bolts (1) retaining the inner panel cam (2).
6. The front door has 2 bolts. The rear door has 3 bolts.
7. Adjust the window cam up or down as needed.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

8. Tighten the inner panel cam bolts (1).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 11 N·m (97 lb in).

1. Inspect the window parallelism adjustment.

Perform the following steps:

1.1.	Raise the window approximately 13 mm (0.5 in) below the full up position.

1.2.	Inspect for parallelism on the upstroke of window motion.

1.3.	Ensure that the gap from the horizontal edge (1) of the window to the weather strip is even at the following locations:

•	The front of the window

•	The rear of the window




2. Perform the following steps to the inner cam bolts (2) in order to adjust the parallelism:

2.1.	Loosen the bolts (1) on the door module (2).

2.2.	Reposition the bolts (1).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

3. Tighten the inner cam bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 11 N·m (97 lb in).

1. Place the window in the up position.
2. Close the door.
3. Measure the space between the window and the B-pillar weather-strip retainer.

Important: Moving the window too far causes the following conditions to occur:

•	Increased door closing effort.

•	Reduced window seal contact at the B-pillar.

•

4. If the space is not within specification, perform the following procedures:
5. Ensure that the space is 6-7 mm (0.25 in).

5.1.	Loosen the regulator to window sash channel (1) bolts.

5.2.	Reposition the window.

5.3.	Inspect the adjustment.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Snug the sash channel bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 11 N·m (97 lb in).

Important: The window upstop adjusters (3) are color coded in the following manner:

2. Insert a 2.6 cm (1 in) wide roll of masking tape (2) in the weather-strip retainer assembly (3).
3. Place the window in the full up position.
4. Close the door.
5. Measure the gap between the edge of the weather-strip retainer assembly (3) and the top edge of the window.

Ensure that the gap is 3 mm (0.125 in).

6. If the gap is not within specifications, perform the following steps:

6.1.	Determine the necessary amount of movement for the assembly.

6.2.	Adjust the upstops as needed.

1. Install the roof rail weather-strip.
2. Install the water deflector. Refer to Door Water Deflector Replacement .
