ISSUE
Some 2005-2009 Mustang convertible vehicles may exhibit a torn / separating quarter glass division bar due to misalignment between the front door
window glass and the rear quarter window glass. Concern may be duplicated with convertible top down, quarter glass down and front door glass up.
When the rear glass is raised, it may catch on the front door glass creating a scissor effect over time. The windows need to be aligned to each other and
the convertible top, as a glass system.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

THE QUARTER GLASS AND CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT BREAKING THE GLASS. IT IS NOT SERVICED SEPARATELY.

Replace the quarter glass assembly, the seal is not serviced separately. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-11.

With the convertible top closed, remove the rear side rail weather strip and close the rear quarter glass window. Adjust the quarter glass so that a
5/32" - 3/16" (4-5 mm) gap exists between the glass and the convertible top weatherstrip retainer. Use the quarter glass jack screws to adjust
