Subject: | Right Rear Door Window Bind (Modify Run Channel) |
Models: | 2005-2006 Chevrolet Colorado |
Condition
Some customers may comment that the right rear door glass binds when rolling up or down.
Cause
The door glass may have come out of the run channel and lodged itself between the rubber weatherstrip and the metal run channel. When this happens, the weatherstrip in the run channel may have been pulled downward coming out of the run channel. Refer to
the illustration above. Use the following correction procedures if there is a window binding concern even if no apparent rubber strip movement has occurred.
Correction
- Remove the right rear door trim following SI.
- Roll the window to the full up position. Loosening the run channel may be necessary if it is jammed in the rubber weatherstrip.
- Using your fingers, grip the rubber weatherstrip and remove from the run channel. Rotate the rubber weatherstrip 180 degrees. Refer to the illustration above.
- The profiles of the rubber weatherstrip edges are slightly different. Flipping the weatherstrip 180 degrees places the larger profile to the outboard side of the door channel. Measure the weatherstrip to confirm that the
larger profile is toward the outside. Refer to the illustration above.
- Mark the rubber weatherstrip 10 mm (3/8 in) down from the top. Refer to the illustration above.
- Trim the newly oriented rubber weatherstrip with a V-cut at a 45 degree angle. Refer to the illustration above.
- Reinstall the rubber weatherstrip making certain that the weatherstrip is reinstalled flush to the top and bottom of the run channel. Refer to the illustration above.
