2. Settings:

2.1 Height adjustment :

This adjustment is made with the front screw of the rear window (1)

The rear latch being locked, rotate up and down the front glass to ensure it does not leave too much space at the top but also that its seal does not rub too much on the door trim. The video below shows a good height adjustment.

2.2 Setting the door plate :

Versions 3 and 4 : this setting is unnecessary. Skip to Section 2.3

As shown in the video below, the door plate must be set (front / back, up / down) so that the half-opening finger engages in the corresponding slot with slight resistance to keep the glass well in that position during opening and closing the door. It is also possible to forward or rewind the U-joint to achieve this result.

2.3 Adjusting the gasket support:

The gasket placed on the front defelector should be adjusted in height so that the front windows does not leave too much space at the top but also that closing the front window is not obstructed. The video below shows a good adjustment.
