INSTALLATION

1. Insert the glass into the clamping shoes.
2. Connect the window regulator switch. If necessary, connect the ground cable to the battery.
3. Close the glass so that a gap of 10 mm remains.
4. Adjust the glass position to achieve the following dimensions: A = 5.4 mm; B = 10 mm. Refer to the accompanying illustration. To do this, shift the glass in the longitudinal direction with the shoes open, or shift the rear shoe so that the glass is parallel to the frame. In this position, tighten the screws to a torque of 10 N·m.
