Service Procedure
1. Visually inspect the 5 clips that run vertically along each D-pillar on the rear window.
Figure 1 – Right D-pillar shown, left side similar
2. Are any of these clips broken causing the rear window fabric to become loose?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 3.
(2). No – this article does not apply.
3. Remove both rear quarter windows and place them aside on a smooth clean surface. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-18A.
4. Remove the rear window. Refer to WSM, Section 501-18A.
5. Place the rear window down on a flat clean work surface, interior side up.
NOTE: This procedure will update both D-pillars. Do not attempt to work on both D-pillars at the same time. Follow the steps to update one side, then continue to the other side when directed to do so.
6. Using an interior trim tool, remove the plastic channel from the D-pillar. (Figure 2)
Figure 2
7. Center the plastic strip on the D-pillar with the plastic strip on the rear window so they sit directly on top of each other. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
8. Use 2 small clamps to hold both pieces together, one at each end. (Figure 4)
NOTE: T-clips may be trimmed/removed as needed to achieve flushness and the proper gap between the window and the D-pillar. T-clip retention will no longer be required once the rivets are installed.
Figure 4
9. Measure and mark all 5 locations on the plastic strip to be drilled following the sequence below. (Figure 5)
Figure 5
Item | Description |
---|---|
1 | 185 mm up from the bottom edge |
2 | 100 mm down from Location 1 |
3 | 140 mm up from Location 1 |
4 | 6 mm down from the upper edge |
5 | 6 mm up from the bottom edge |
10. Rotate the clamped D-pillar and plastic strip assembly so that the round side is facing up. Obtain an even 5 mm gap between the D-pillar and the rear window plastic strip. Loosen the clamps as needed to allow for adjustments. Reapply both clamps once the proper gap is achieved. (Figure 6)
Figure 6
11. Drill the holes using a 5 mm drill bit. Starting at the bottom and working toward the top. Do not drill into the surrounding stitches. Remove the clamps once all 5 holes have been drilled. (Figure 7)
Figure 7
12. Install all 5 rivets, one at a time, using one washer as support around the back of each rivet. During this process, maintain the 5 mm gap as mentioned in Step 10. (Figure 8)
NOTE: The 5 mm gap between the D-pillar and the rear window plastic strip is critical. If this gap is too large or small, the rear window to rear quarter window fitment and appearance will be jeopardized.
Figure 8
13. Reinstall the plastic channel back onto the D-pillar using an interior trim tool. (Figure 2)
14. Inspect the outer edge between the D-pillar and the rear window. The appearance should be consistent across the entire edge and look consistent with the edge on the opposite D-pillar to rear window edge. (Figure 9)
Figure 9
15. Carefully clean the rear window assembly removing all metal shavings.
16. Apply Motorcraft® Anti-Corrosion Coating to all exposed metal rivets and flat washers that were installed during Step 12. No bare metal should be exposed. (Figure 10)
Figure 10
17. Install the rear quarter windows and rear window back on to the vehicle. Compare the appearance of the rear quarter windows and rear window fitment. Using the unworked/previously worked D-pillar as a baseline, their appearance should be identical.
NOTE: Failing to maintain the 5 mm gap may cause fitment issues. Too large of a gap will cause the rear quarter window to fit too loosely in the rear window channel. Too small of a gap will cause the rear quarter window to not sit completely flush in the rear window channel.
18. Once D-pillar fitment has been verified, repeat Steps 3-17 for the other side.

Repair/Claim Coding Causal Part: 7842006 Condition Code: 01 Service Procedure 1. Visually inspect the 5 clips that run vertically along each D-pillar on the rear window. Figure 1 – Right D-pillar shown, left side similar 2. Are any of these clips broken causing the rear window fabric to become loose? (1). Yes – proceed to Step 3. (2).

Refer to WSM, Section 501-18A. 5. Place the rear window down on a flat clean work surface, interior side up. NOTE: This procedure will update both D-pillars. Do not attempt to work on both D-pillars at the same time. Follow the steps to update one side, then continue to the other side when directed to do so. 6. Using an interior trim tool, remove the plastic channel from the D-pillar. (Figure 2) Figure 2 7. Center the plastic strip on the D-pillar with the plastic strip on the rear window so they sit directly on top of each other. (Figure 3) Figure 3 8. Use 2 small clamps to hold both pieces together, one at each end. (Figure 4) NOTE: T-clips may be trimmed/removed as needed to achieve flushness and the proper gap between the window and the D-pillar. T-clip retention will no longer be required once the rivets are installed. Figure 4 9. Measure and mark all 5 locations on the plastic strip to be drilled following the sequence below.
