The door window assembly on the Eldorado consists of a frameless piece of solid tempered safety plate glass with pre-set run channel guide blocks attached.
Verify that the adjustments for the following components are correct:
• | The door hinge |
• | The mini wedge striker |
When the window is lowered, ensure that the following conditions exist:
• | The door closes using normal effort. |
• | The door is properly aligned to the body and the fender. |
• | The door does not ride up or down on the mini wedge striker. |
In the closed position, ensure that the rear of the door is flush to 1 mm (0.031 in) outboard of the quarter panel. Perform any door or mini wedge striker adjustments before performing any window adjustments. Refer to Door Adjustment and Door Lock Striker Adjustment .
Caution: Disconnect the power window switch when working inside the driver door. When operated, the Express Up/Down Feature allows the door window to move very quickly, without stopping, which could cause personal injury.
Note the position of the water deflector. Reinstall the water deflector in the same position in order to prevent water leaks.
Caution: When working with any type of glass or sheet metal with exposed or rough edges, wear approved safety glasses and gloves in order to reduce the chance of personal injury.

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.
Tighten
Tighten the front and rear upper run channel bolts (1) to 11 N·m
(97 lb in).
Notice: Proper sealing is necessary in order to prevent water entry into the door and possible damage to inner door components.
