ISSUE:
Front door glass that stays about 1/4" (6 mm) above the door glass belt line when the window is in the full down position may be caused by
the window regulator downstop. The window regulator downstop may be about 5/32" (4 mm) too long which will not allow the glass to
travel to the full down position.

procedure.
