Quarter Glass Alignment Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Raise door glass to full up position.
Cycle quarter glass between full up and full down positions.

Verify that quarter glass operates smoothly and maintains correct alignment to convertible top and door glass.

NOTE: The alignment to door glass can be checked with the "paper strip test". Place a piece of paper on the quarter glass seal and close the door. Slide the paper along the length of the seal - there should be some resistance to pulling the paper out. See Fig 1.
