2004 Cadillac CTS Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear side door stationary window and front window channel on 2004 Cadillac CTS?

  A: Caretakers should start by setting the window to its lowest point before removing the side door trim and door module and water deflector. The first task requires removing both the door module and water deflector unit. The worker must unfasten the window inner belt sealing strip then take out the window and finally remove the window outer belt sealing strip. First remove the door header window weather strip while pulling it out then detach the stationary window post bolt. To remove the rear door stationary window one should first separate the window weather strip starting from the door header to reach the division post. Then pull the division post forward to disconnect the window assembly. Lubricate the rearward edge of the stationary window with soap water solution before sitting the assembly inside the door frame. Secure the stationary window post bolt by tightening it to 9 Nm (80 lb in). You must install the window weather strip onto the door frame by starting at the center-pillar and progressing downward toward the completion of the installation. The window requires reinstallation before adding the window outer belt sealing strip and window inner belt sealing strip. The conclusion of this operation comprises reattachment of the water deflector and door trim panel.
