6. IMPERIAL HARDTOP MODELS
a.
4-Door Sedan Rear Door
Because of the curved glass on these models,
aluminum frames are also curved. Five frame
mounting bolts—two at the rear, and three at
the front—as shown in Figure 28. Remove them
from the faces of the door without removing
any trim. To improve the fit and seal above the
belt line, you can loosen these mounting bolts,
then move the frame in or out and retighten
the bolts.
b.
Glass Adjustment
Check glass operation. If it doesn't raise or
lower smoothly, or is cocked in the channels,
loosen the four regulator and power unit as-
sembly attaching screws. Shift the entire as-
sembly to realign the glass and retighten the
screws.
c. Front Door
The rear edge of the glass doesn't follow a con-
ventional run channel course as the glass is
lowered. A nylon roller at the rear of the glass
frame follows a curved, box-type metal chan-
nel, as shown in Figure 29. This rear channel is
attached to the rear leg of the aluminum frame.
Whenever you move the frame, you also adjust
the rear channel. To tip the rear leg of the
frame in or out, loosen the three frame mount-
ing bolts at the rear face of the door; adjust
and retighten.
At vent wing, a curved division bar acts as
the front run channel. Move the lower end of
the division bar in or out by loosening the lock

nut on a special adjusting screw. Turn the
screw to pull or push the division bar in or out.
Retighten the lock nut to hold the adjustment.
An elongated hole also provides fore-and-aft
adjustment of the division bar. Adjust for a
loose or tight fit between the front glass edge
and division bar channel .The front leg of the
frame is attached to a bracket inside the inner
panel through an access hole at the upper front
part of the door. Mounting bolts, in elongated
holes, allow for an in-or-out adjustment of
frame at the front.
