Adjustment procedure - Spider

For the Spider vehicle, the windows have the same adjustment points as the Gtv.

However, it is important to consider that the window must ensure tightness with the seals of the hood, which is, in turn, subject to possible adjustments.

It is not possible however to provide geometrical inspection dimensions as for the Gtv.

Therefore, adjustment of the window is to be carried out only for obvious malfunctions (air draughts and/or water leaks) after accurate inspection in order to locate the cause of the fault (low crossways pressure on the seals, stop in low position with respect to the hood profile, etc.).

Thus, make the most suitable correction (crossways, vertically or longitudinally) working on the corresponding adjustment points, each time verifying the effect of the correction made until reaching the best condition possible.

For the operating procedures and the consequent effects on the window, refer to the previous paragraph on adjustment for the Gtv (previous paragraph).

At all events use the special gauge of kit 1.823.030.000 to check the correct distance between the profile of the glass and the windscreen pillar.

If an optimum condition is not reached, it is necessary to consider re-positioning the hood (see Repair Manual - Group 70 - Body - Hood).
