The roof lift-off window is adjustable within the lift-off window opening. The roof lift-off windows are adjusted up and down by adding or removing backing plates (4). Inboard/outboard and fore-and-aft travel is adjusted by loosening bolts/screws (2) and repositioning the front and rear strikers (1,3) as necessary. Adjustments should be made to get a flush fit of the roof lift-off window to the roof.
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.
