Figure 12.14. Installing the glass of a triangular window
To make installation of the triangular window glass easier, lubricate the glass frame with a soapy solution (figure 12.14).
On models with power windows, connect a cable to the negative battery terminal and lower the window to the down position before installing the window.
Once installation is complete, test the operation of the window lift by raising and lowering the window several times to ensure that it moves easily and freely. If necessary, loosen the bolts and adjust the position of the window regulator.
