In instances of multiple window drop concerns it has been found that to achieve Glass set specifications some
adjusters are being adjusted far out of specification.
In some cases since not all adjusters are visible, there is a possibility that the adjusters can be set to their maximum
inboard/outboard and induce excess tension in the regulators and affect the angle the windows enter the seals.
There is free play built into the front and rear regulators, therefore as the windows are being held in place by the cant
rail/convertible roof seals when closed, this may not be apparent when measuring as per ELSAPRO. However, these
extreme adjustments can cause issues with how the windows enter the cant rail/convertible roof seals or how the front
and rear glasses interlock with each other, in some cases this can cause the seals to pinch and cause an anti trap
condition leading to window reversal.
The following procedure should be applied to reset the regulator adjusters to factory delivered specification and then
fine tune any adjustments from there in line with ELSA specifications. To do this, the drop glass window should be
removed first to prevent damage during adjuster resetting and access to all 8 adjusters is needed so front door and
rear quarter panel trims will require removal.
If not already done so, review E-Academy videos on Glass Setting Procedures for GT/GTC before proceeding to ensure
accurate and repeatable measurements are being made.

Front Quarter glass adjuster Item 1
Measurement between bottom of mounting
washer and division bar frame, is 12.5mm.
To reset this adjuster without removing the
quarter glass, loosen the lock nut, screw the
adjuster all the way in clockwise until it
bottoms out on the frame, then unscrew anti
clockwise 4 complete turns then set height and
profile to ELSA specification before moving on
to the next step.

When reinstalling front drop glass ensure tape
is applied at 10mm from front edge and align
this with the previously set quarter glass
division bar.

Example of incorrect fitment:
10mm intrusion into division bar seal
not achieved. Only 6mm seen, front
and rear side glasses will be too far
rearwards, potentially clash condition
between rear of rear glass and cant
rail/roof seals

Z-Axis height should only be adjusted by the 4mm
Allen key adjusters as per ELSAPRO
Example: Front drop glass Z axis not adjusted correctly. Bottom of tape was level
with waist rail seal, after slackening pinch bolt (3 in bottom left image) front drop
glass lowered 14mm to where pen marked line is.
Z-axis adjusters (bottom middle and right images) had not been used, pinch bolt had
been slacked and glass lifted out of the regulator to achieve specification. This has a
knock on effect of altering the 10mm division bar intrusion seen in previous slide as
glass is loose and can be accidentally moved in X-axis.
This also creates a risk that the window will bottom out on the cant rail seals rather
than the regulator bump stops meaning that the glass can raise further as the seals
soften over time and affect end stop learning.

Rear Regulator adjusters 1, 2, 3

•

Adjust the rear window regulator adjusters at the
following points as shown in the following page
Before resetting adjusters remove the 3 13mm
lock nuts (1-3 in image) to allow adjusters to be
fully screwed in without damaging the regulator,
Also ensure black closing panel (see page 12) is not
stopping the regulator from moving when
performing these adjustments.

After resetting all 3 adjusters leave the locking nuts loose to allow vertical
movement.
Ensure closing panel (item 3) is installed and 10mm nuts (item 2) are
tightened to set regulator height before tightening adjuster locking nuts
(item 1-3 in image on page 10). Ensure regulator is bottoming out on bump
stops when measuring/setting glass height in Z-axis
Proceed with adjusting rear quarter glass into ELSA specification

IMPORTANT
10mm nuts (item 2) must be loosened when
adjusting the 3 regulator adjusters to allow
the regulator to move. Retighten and check
measurements after each adjustment is made

Images show a poor setting.
Circa 6mm at front edge (near wing mirror)
closing up to 2mm at the rear edge.
2mm at rear edge would have been set to
achieve specified flush/2mm underflush profile
condition between front and rear glasses, the
rear quarter glass mirrors this taper condition.
This potentially increases the risk of false anti
trap as rear window/seal does not engage with
front window at the correct angle.
Suggested to set to specification on problem
vehicles as per next slide. If both windows are
set between 4-6mm then the flush/2mm
underflush profile can be easily achieved.

When setting front to rear window profile and waist rail measurements ensure that the front
window does not move outboard excessively when the rear window closes as this will increase
current draw on the rear motor during the period where it is monitoring for it’s end stop, excess
current draw in this zone can cause a false anti-trap scenario.
There does need to be some tension between the front and rear glass to seal against the drop
glass seal, zero mm of movement is best.
If more tension is required to resolve a wind noise or water ingress then aim for no more than
0.25mm of outboard movement.

window open. Note gap

outboard movement, this is incorrect

Windows should enter cant rail seal
smoothly, making contact with inboard edge
first and then be pushed outboard (green
square).
Too far inboard increases the risk of the
cant rail seal pinching, too far outboard will
clash with cant rail brightware (red squares)
For front door, poor door profile is a major
contributing factor here and should be
checked/adjusted if window found to be
entering seal incorrectly

After all adjustments have been made and recorded in tables from ELSA workshop
manual section “Side glass - To check”. Door ECU basic settings must be relearnt.
Ensure battery is fully charged and passes VAS6161 Warranty/VW-Orig battery
test with result “Good Battery”, voltage should be above 12.5V.
Test window operation in all scenarios, e.g. global open/close, individual window
switches, driver door switches, convenience open/close (where applicable), short
drop functions when opening/closing doors and with convertible roof open/closed if
working on a GTC.
Finally, ensure vehicle still passes water ingress test and does not have excessive
wind noise, any further adjustments must remain within ELSA specifications.
