This bulletin describes several procedures that may reduce the incidence of many abnormal door window conditions.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Any 1990-94 Eclipse may be affected. The condition can be found on both manual and power window equipped vehicles.
DESCRIPTION
If a customer complains that the door or door window on their 1990-94 Eclipse is difficult to operate and/or out of adjustment, perform the following
procedures, in order, until satisfactory door window operation is obtained.
NOTE:
Removal, adjustment, and installation procedures not fully explained in this bulletin can be found in the appropriate vehicle's service manual.
MATERIALS
The following materials will be needed to complete the procedures described in this bulletin:
-
Service Manual, Volume 1 (1990, 1991, or 1992-94 Eclipse, depending on vehicle)
-
Basic Shop Tools
-

Window Regulator
Procedure A: Replacing Door Window Regulator
1.
Remove the door trim panel.
2.
Remove the door window.
3.
Operate the window regulator (either by manual crank or power button) and observe its movement. The normal movement of the window regulator
should be smooth (no binding) going either up or down. If the regulator operates normally, reinstall the door window and go to PROCEDURE B.
If it does not operate normally, install a new window regulator. Refer to the Parts Information section for window regulator part numbers.
4.
After replacing the window regulator, reinstall the door window and check its operation. If the window operates normally, reinstall the door panel
trim and return the vehicle to the customer. If the door window is still difficult to operate, go to PROCEDURE B.
NOTE:
When reinstalling the door panel trim, be sure the upper clips attaching the door panel trim to the window sill are completely seated. Failure to seat
one or more of the clips can cause binding during window operation.
Procedure B: Seating Rear Runchannel
