Unfasten the front door trim panel and take out both water deflector and the inflatable restraint air bag sensor plate if there is one. To start work you should take both the front door inner belt sealing strip plus outside mirror then the window Weather Strip. Take off speakers and their screws from the radio side of the door while disconnecting the speaker cable. Pull the bolts out from the front door lower channel and lift the channel over the door top to take it out. Place the front door lower channel from the top of the frame and fasten it with the lower channel bolts that need to be tightened to 7 n.m (62 lb in). Reassemble the Speaker Connector then mount the speaker by tighten its screws until it rests properly. Next you should replace the Weather Strip first and follow it up with installing the front door outer belt sealing strip, rearview mirror, inside belt sealing strip, and the impact sensor mounting plate.

  Q: How to service the rear door stationary window and division window channel on Cadillac Catera?

  A:

  You must remove the door trim panel along with water deflector, inner and outer belt sealing strips, and door window Weather Strip to access the stationary window and division channel of the rear door. After removing screws from the window and division channel you need to pull the channel away from its position on the stationary window and rear door. Following this step detach the channel Weather Strip before taking out the stationary window from the door. Start by inserting the stationary window into the rear door before adding the division channel Weather Strip and window/division channel items. Make sure the division channel seats smoothly on top of the window. Secure the window division channel screws at 7 n.m (62 lb in) then fit the door window waterstrip and add all other components in order: outer belt seal strip, inner belt seal strip, water deflector and door trim panel.
