Adjusting the window mating seals

ADJUSTING THE WINDOW MATING SEALS

Before working on the seals, carry out the possible adjustments on the window (guides and stroke) as described in the specific paragraph. Also check the correct alignment of the door (see specific paragraph).

• Remove the door seals (see specific paragraph).
  1. Loosen the screws fastening the grooves.
  2. Adjust the position of the grooves making use of the slotted holes.

Maintain the alignment between the grooves.

• Re-tighten the screws and refit the seals.

The seal groove is adjustable along a sloping surface. To ensure correct coupling between the seal and the glass it is therefore necessary to also adjust the slope of the glass guide and the upper stroke limit (see specific paragraph). Also check that the hood canvas protrudes appr. 10 mm from the upper profile of the glass in the closed position.

CHECKING THE TENSION OF THE HOOD CANVAS

• Close the hood.
  1. On the centre line and between the two upper ribs, position a mass P of 2,5 kg with a circular rest base with a diameter of 150 mm.
  2. Check that the camber F of the canvas is below 15 mm.
