Checking lateral adjustment –  Use template -T40038 /12- for check. –  Position template at distance -a- = 20 mm and -b- = 100 mm.

–  Lugs of template must make contact with roof at top -arrow 1-. –  »Min« adjustment is correct when »points -1- and -3-« make contact. –  »Point -2-« may show a gap. –  »Max« adjustment is correct when »points -2- and -3-« make contact. –  »Point -1-« may show a gap. Checking adjustment of height –  Slide template upwards until lugs of template make contact with roof. –  Height is correctly adjusted when bottom edge of window guide is within width of template groove.

Gap widths for front door   Note t  All dimensions are given in »mm«. t  All tolerance ranges for the dimensions are ± 0.5 mm. t  The sides of the gap must be parallel (variation not more than 0.5 mm). t  Dimension E = 3.5 mm t  Dimension F = 5 mm t  Dimension G = 3.5 mm Driver side: –  Remove dash panel trim (driver side) → Rep. gr.70. –  Remove A-pillar trim (bottom) → Rep. gr.70. –  Remove mounting for relay carrier (driver side) → Rep. gr.97.
