Quarter Glass Alignment Verification
- 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.
