Sufficiently larger than the distance L ₂ to the center of the 8. In this way, by arranging the shim plate 42 in relation to only one of the bolts 38, the adjustment of the contact between the window 26 and the belt moldings 22 and 24 can be easily performed. Since a relatively large change in the clearance 62 occurs due to the precise position adjustment, the adjustment is easy.

The two bolts 38 are passed through the flange 54 above the reinforcing panel 40 and the upper edge 35 of the inner panel 34, and a nut 64 is screwed into the bolt 38 and tightened.
The mounting of the window guide 28 is completed.

The adjustment of the window 26 with respect to the door 20 is performed by first moving the lower end 30 in the width direction of the vehicle body with the upper end 31 of the window guide 28 temporarily fixed. During this adjustment, the attitude of the window 26 with respect to the belt moldings 22 and 24 slightly changes, but the change is substantially the same in the front-back direction of the door. After the adjustment is completed, the lower end 30 of the window guide 28
Is fixed, and in this state, the bracket 36 of the upper end 31 is fixed.
, The nut 64 screwed into the rear bolt 38 is loosened, and the bracket 36 is rotated about the front bolt 38. By this adjustment, the window 26 contacts the belt molding 22 or the belt molding 2 of the window 26
4 is finely adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. After the adjustment is completed, the shim plate 42 having a required thickness is inserted into the newly created gap 62, and the nut 64 screwed into the bolt 38 at the rear is tightened.
