1. Door Glass
Condition Apparent cause/Correction
Glass in fully closed
position1) Glass runs out of weatherstrip lip when considerable hand
pressure is applied to it from inside.
G5M0502
IInsufficient upward travel of glass
Increase upward travel of glass.
(This condition may cause wind/booming noise during high-
speed operation.)
2) Clearance exists between glass and weatherstrip when
light hand pressure is applied to it at center and rear pillar
locations.
G5M0503
IInsufficient glass-to-door weather-
strip contact
Check stabilizer and glass for proper
contact. Increase contact using
upper sash adjustment bolt.
IImproper adjustment of striker in
in-out direction Close door and check
for alignment of striker with vehicle
body.
(This condition may cause wind noise and/or water leakage.)
3) Adjust door glass so that it is aligned with door rearview
mirror gusset.
G5M0504
IWindow is not properly adjusted in
up-down/fore-aft direction.
Adjust window. If necessary, move B
channel regulator to eliminate win-
dow tilt.
IGusset is not properly adjusted in

Condition Apparent cause/Correction
Door in fully closed/
open position1) Glass rides over weatherstrip lip when door is closed.
G5M0505
IImproper up-down and in-out glass
alignments
Adjust glass for up-down and in-out
alignments (incl. rear sash, upper
stopper adjustment, etc.). If
necessary, correct glass tilt by mov-
ing B channel regulator.
(This condition increases wind/booming noise, leakage and/or
effort required to close door.)
2) Edge of glass contacts retainer when door is fully closed.
G5M0506
IImproper glass-to-center pillar
weatherstrip or excessive glass con-
tact to weatherstrip
IExcessive adjusting in contact to
weatherstrip
Causes rear edge of glass to tilt
inboard closer to center pillar. Adjust
rear sash adjustment bolt to reduce
glass contact to weatherstrip.
Raise or lower window
glass1) Considerable effort or time is required to operate regulator.
Standard operating effort:
IEntire up-down travel except for point 5 mm (0.20 in)
below fully closed position: 29.4 N (3.0 kg, 6.6 lb)
IPoint 5 mm (0.20 in) below fully closed position: 44.1 N
(4.5 kg, 9.9 lb)
G5M0507
ISliding resistance increased due
to high stabilizer-to-glass contact
pressure.
Reduce contact by mounting inner
stabilizer to inside of the vehicle.
IHigh glass-to-windshield contact
pressure
Reduce contact using upper sash
adjustment bolt.
IUnequal contact adjustment stroke
between front and rear sashes Set to
equal stroke.
ITilt of rear sash adjustment bolt

Condition Apparent cause/Correction
Raise or lower window
glass2) Center pillar weatherstrip is caught by rear window glass
when glass is raised.
G5M0508
IImproper fore-aft or in-out align-
ment of window glass
Lower B channel regulator to tilt win-
dow glass back.
3) Window glass tilts forward by more than 2 mm (0.08 in).
G5M0509
IExcessive glass contact pressure
or improper in-out alignment
(1) Lower B channel regulator to tilt
window glass rearward.
(2) Reduce contact pressure using
upper sash adjustment bolt.
Excessive tilt of glass forward is due to excessive glass²con-
tact'' which causes reaction of center pillar weatherstrip.
Glass can be tilted forward due to increase in reaction of
shoulder weatherstrip or free play between sash and roller.
Taking these symptoms into account, glass should be
aligned.
