Proper Alignment of the Window Glass
Prior to installing the window regulator assembly, manually slide the window glass
through its travel in the window glass channels to check for excessive resistance.
Always inspect the visible portion of the window glass channel for damage. If the window
glass run channel is visibly damaged, then replace it. Pay close attention just below the
door skin; this is a common area for the window glass run channel to be pinched. Clean
the window glass channels using a soapy water solution, then apply grease.
To ensure proper installation of the window regulator assembly it is vital to con rm that
the window is properly aligned within the window glass run channels.
STEP 1: After installation of the window
regulator assembly, install the window glass
to the window regulator assembly lift plate.
Do not completely tighten the fasteners at
this time.
STEP 2: Notice that the mounting points
from the window regulator assembly lift
plate to the window are slots. This is where
alignment can be adjusted for smooth
operation of the window glass within the
window channels.
STEP 3: Press upward slightly on the right
side of the window glass to adjust the
window. This will place the left side of the
window glass ush with the left window
channel.
STEP 4: Completely tighten the fasteners for
attaching the window regulator assembly lift
plate to the window glass at this time.
STEP 5: Temporarily connect power to the
window regulator. Actuate the window
regulator assembly up and down to ensure
smooth operation. If there is any resistance
in the system repeat the steps above.

Be sure to check for gaps and to ensure that the weather-stripping did not fold
underneath the window glass at any point of the window glass run channels.
Failure to properly align the window glass can result in additional resistance on the window
regulator assembly. This can lead to premature failure of the window regulator assembly.
