If the window glass automatically starts moving downwards at the wrong time while it is being raised, carry out the following adjustment or replacement procedures.
1. Remove the door trim and waterproof film.
NOTE: Insert a cushion or similar object to prevent damage to the glass if it should happen to fall down.
2. Remove the window regulator assembly from the door window glass, and then raise and lower the door window glass by hand to check the operation force.
3. If the door window glass does not move up and down smoothly, check or repair the following points.
- Check the installation condition of the runchannel.
- Repair any twisting in the door sash.
- Check the installation condition of the lower sash or the center sash.
NOTE: The lower sash cannot normally be adjusted, but it may be possible to adjust the sash span slightly within the range allowed by manufacturing tolerances by pushing the lower sash outwards while re-installing it.
4. If repair or adjustment is not possible, replace the door assembly.
