CONVERTIBLE TOP ADJUSTMENTS
When a convertible top component is aligned to
proper fit and finish specifications, weatherstrips and
seals will not always make proper contact. In these
cases, the use of shims, spacers, caulking putty and
foam adhesive backed tape will be required to gain
proper seal compression. Align weatherstrip and seal
channels or retainers so the contact surfaces are
smooth and make full contact with mating surfaces.
A paper strip, equal in size to a dollar bill, should be
able to be drawn through the contact surfaces with-
out tearing the paper. A reasonable amount of effort
should be required to pull the paper through.
Bolt on body panels should be aligned to the weld
on body components. The door should be aligned to
the quarter panel, rocker panel and A-pillar. The
gaps between panels should be as equal as possible.
When the door is fitted properly, the door glass can
be aligned to roof rail and A-pillar weatherstrips. Af-
ter verifying the door and door glass alignment, the
quarter glass can be aligned to the door glass and
rear roof rail.
DOOR GLASS ALIGNMENT
GLASS UP-STOP
The door glass up-stop bumper can be adjusted to
raise or lower the glass in the full up position.
(1) Remove door trim panel and water shield.
(2) Loosen up-stop bolt.
(3) Adjust bracket.
(4) Tighten up-stop bolt.
DIVISION BAR ALIGNMENT
The rear of the glass can be aligned up or down by
shifting the bottom attachment of the division bar.

possible on some vehicles.
(1) Remove door trim panel and water shield.
(2) Loosen blot holding bottom of division bar to
inner door panel.
(3) Loosen bolt holding division bar to door inner
panel below stationary glass.
(4) Shift division bar forward or rearward to
achieve proper adjustment.

house and fourth bow.
Seal base of down-stop with silicone after adjust-
ing to prevent water leaks.
