THE UPSTOP AND OUT OF THE GLASS RUN

ISSUE
The front window may travel beyond the upstop and exit the glass run on some vehicles. This may be caused by insufficient interference of the window
rear mounting bracket to the upstop.
ACTION
Attach an extension to the window rear mounting bracket. The extension creates more interference of the window bracket to the upstop, reducing the
possibility of the window traveling too far. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.

Lower glass to provide access to the window glass rear mounting bracket through the opening in door inner panel.

7.
Remove 1/4" bolt.
