should be obtained only through your Harman dealer.
To replace a broken glass; first be sure to carefully
remove the broken glass and any remaining shards or
pieces. With the door laying on a flat surface, lay the
gasketed glass panel onto the door and be sure it is
properly fitted into the channel. Lay the glass retainer
clips in place near each corner, and secure them using
the 3/8" screws. Be sure to tighten each screw equally
so you don't create a pressure point on the glass.
