Install the glass and regulator in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Never use any kind other than the corrosion-resistant bolts where these special bolts are originally installed. If other bolts are used, electrolysis may accelerate corrosion around tightening points, resulting in loosening of the joints.
- Roll the glass up and down to see if it moves freely without binding.
- Make sure that there is no clearance between the glass and glass run channel when the glass is closed.
- Adjust the position of the glass as necessary (see FRONT AND REAR DOOR GLASS ADJUSTMENT ).
- When reinstalling the door panel, make sure the plastic cover is installed properly and sealed around its outside perimeter to seal out water.
- Check for water leaks (see step 7 on FRONT AND REAR DOOR GLASS ADJUSTMENT ).
- Test-drive and check for wind noise and rattles.
