ISSUE:
The inner surface of the window run may protrude out due to the way the run is shipped to the plant.
ACTION:
Reposition the run to make the run contact the window. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
"Spoon" or feed the glass run outer lip back under the glass run outer face using a "popsicle stick"-style tool. This may be accomplished by
pressing the lip back into the glass run and pressing on the outside face of the glass run to seat it there.
2.
Using a heat gun, heat the glass run in the affected area until it is hot to the touch. Be careful not to blister the finish on the glass run.
3.
Apply pressure to the affected area with a piece of plastic, a clean rag or flat tool until the heat dissipates.
4.
After the glass run is cool, cycle the glass up and down to verify the repair. The outer lip should not come out of the glass run.
