Convertible Rear Quarter Glass Assembly

The rear quarter glass of the convertible is 5 mm, tempered, semi-flush and green tinted. A drum and wire system provides automatic full glass drop when the top is lowered. Rear glass control is incorporated in the convertible top switch, which is located in the roof console.

When lowering the rear quarters of the convertible at vehicle speeds up to 24 km/h (15 mph), failure to release the switch on operation of the audible alarm will result in lowering of the top.

Rear quarter glass is automatically powered to the bottom position when the top is lowered and further operation is inhibited until the top is raised and latched.

The rear quarters are operated automatically, up or down, when raising or lowering the convertible top. If the door glass is in the raised position when a request to close the top is made, the door glass and the rear quarters will be powered to the bottom of their travel. When the top is fully raised all glass will be powered up to close, rear quarters first followed by the door glass, forming a seal with the top.

If the front glass has been either fully or partially lowered manually, the rear quarters only will be powered up. If the power supply to the driver or passenger door module is disconnected (battery disconnected, module unplugged or fuse removed) then the glass/system must re-learn the glass operating characteristics. The last known glass position is regarded as top of travel by one touch operation until re-learning has taken place. One touch down, manual up and down control and the automatic lowering of the glass for door opening are unaffected.
