WINDOW ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment of the glass position is fundamental in ensuring correct mating of the door in its surround and perfect air and water tightness.

The absence of the glass contour frame in fact, imposes perfect adjustment of the mating between glass and seals, with the door closed and the window up, to avoid wind noise and leaks.

The window adjustment points are the following:

  1. Glass fastening points on lower window winder rod (longitudinal adjustment).
  2. Mating of runners - glass (crossways and partly vertical adjustment).
  3. Runner stops (vertical adjustment).
  4. Lower guide connection points (crossways adjustment). These adjustment points should be taken to the nominal dimension and serve solely for small final adjustments of the glass transversal position.
  5. Window winder pad anchor point (adjustment of window up/down trajectory).

NOTE: before adjusting the window, disable the up-down device as described below.
