Park Avenue V6-3.8L VIN K (1995)
Lower movable glass to the full down position. Visually inspect the glass contact area at the lower front corner of the opening (see Figure 1). Open
glass run channel lips and inspect for flocking and/or dried adhesive in the contact area. If so, the window frame glass run channel must be
replaced.
Check Method 2
With movable glass up, visually inspect lower front corner of movable glass. Inspect location of glass in the run channel lips. If the glass is
outboard and interfering with the exterior lip of the run channel and not contacting inside lip, the front lower window run channel must be
replaced.
Important:
Testing done in the following Check Methods (B. 1 and 2) should be done at room temperature (70-80° F; 21-27° C).
b. Check Method 1
To insure upper edge of glass run retention, lower movable glass to the full down position with the door open. Facing the outboard side, grasp the
outer lip portion with thumb and fore finger (both hands). Pull firmly in the outboard direction, towards yourself. You should not observe any
excessive movement. Repeat this process across the entire area. This outer lip section has been tested to withstand 20-25 pounds of direct pull
force.
Check Method 2
To insure lower edge of glass run retention, lower movable glass down. Grasp lower portion of glass run with thumbs in web sealing area. Rotate
rubber lip up and outward firmly along entire glass run channel. If the lower section is not engaged, the metal retainer will be visible and the lower
blocked lip will move outboard easily.
c. Check Method
Inspect front and rear door B-pillar skull cap rubbers (see Figure 2). Check for loose fit due to missing or loose push pin.
