SUBJECT



Cracked Outside A-Pillar Trim



MODEL



R50 (Cooper)



R52 (Convertible)



R53 (Cooper S)



SITUATION



The outside A-pillar trim is cracked in the upper area.



CAUSE



Side window glass makes contact with the outside A-pillar trim. This can be caused by incorrect adjustment of the front windows or malfunction of



the automatic window-lowering function when opening the doors.



CORRECTION



Verify front window adjustment and that the active automatic window-lowering function is active when opening the door. In both cases, make sure



that the side window glass and the outside A-pillar trim do not contact each other.



PROCEDURE



1. Adjust the front window, see Repair Instructions RA 51 32 154.



2. Initialize automatic window-lowering function per Repair Instructions RA 67 62... so that it is active when the door is opened. This



initialization must be performed:



^ In case of malfunctions, e.g. incomplete closing.



^ After disconnecting the battery.



^ After replacing the window regulator motor.



^ After adjusting the window regulator.



3. Replace the cracked outside A-pillar trim. See also Service Information M51 01 05.
