Window Glass Adjustment - Rear Quarter, Convertible

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Make sure the front door glass is adjusted correctly before adjusting the rear quarter glass. Window glass on convertible top vehicles needs to be aligned/adjusted as a system. The rear quarter glass must be correctly aligned to the front door glass and the convertible top for correct operation. For additional information, refer to WINDOW GLASS ADJUSTMENT - FRONT DOOR .
  1. Remove the rear quarter trim panel. For additional information, refer to INTERIOR TRIM AND ORNAMENTATION .
  2. With the convertible top in the CLOSED position, lower the front door and quarter window glass to the fully OPEN position.
  3. Remove the rear side rail seal from the convertible top rear weatherstrip retainer channel.
  4. Raise the front door and quarter glass to the fully CLOSED position.
  5. NOTE: Make sure the front door glass is flush to the rear quarter glass seal (division bar) or outboard no more than 2 mm (0.08 in).

    Check the quarter glass-to-convertible top weatherstrip retainer alignment. There should be a 4 to 5 mm (0.16 to 0.19 in) gap between the quarter glass and the weatherstrip retainer.

    • If necessary, use one or more of the available quarter glass jackscrews. Loosen the lock nut, adjust the jackscrew to position the glass inboard/outboard and tighten the lock nut.
