Roof Sealing and Wind Noise
Roof Sealing and Wind Noise
Roof seals and side windows have been provided
with
a range
ofadjustments capable ofdealing with
any leaks which may occur.
The following information is divided into five
sections:

1.
A post and header sealing/roof lock adjustment

2.
Roof seals - adjustment
3. Cheater plate seals - adjustment/renewal

4.
Door glass - adjustment
5. Rear quarter glass - adjustment (9.1.01.2)
When a leak is
reported,
either wind noise or water
ingress, try to pinpoint the actual leak path using
any of the following methods:
• An ultrasonic leak detector
• An air flow
detector,
e.g.
Drager
smoke
tube
• Paper test strips at seal contact areas
9.2.01.5 - 'A' Post/Header Sealing and
Lock Adjustment
when a leak is detected at the top of the 'A' post
adjacent to the header rail
seal,
first
ensure
that the
roof lock is correctly adjusted.
If the lock is difficult to operate, it is probably
overtensioned. Release the retaining hook locknut

and extend
the hook
one full
turn.
Checkand repeat
the adjustment as necessary.
If the locking handle is loose, it is undertensioned.
Release the retaining hook locknut and screw the
hook inwards one full
turn.
Check and repeat the
adjustment as necessary.
Open the roof and check for obvious seal defects
i.e. collapse, damage or manufacturing faults.
Replace where necessary.lf the lock tension is
correct and a leak is still evident, it may be caused
by lack of pressure between the front frame and
header seals (Fig 2).

Increase seal pressure by inserting a
packer between
the front and rear frame seals (see DB7 Volante
parts manual).

Note:
After fitting
sea!
packers, check the locking
handle tension and adjust if necessary. If
a
leak is
still evident, go to 9.2.01.6.

Door Glass Adjustment ^?
9.2.01.8 - Door Glass Adjustment
The door glass can be adjusted in three planes. Lateral, Up and Down, and Front to Rear. It is advisable however
to avoid forward and rearward adjustment if possible,
as
this will affect the height and overall position of
the
glass
relative to the seals. Use this adjustment only to correct serious misalignment.
Lateral Adjustment
Remove the door trim pad. Partially lower the window to allow access to the glass channel mounting bracket (Fig
6-A). Slacken off the four nuts to allow lateral adjustment. Move the glass to the desired position and tighten the

nuts.
Close the
window
and
recheck the alignment.
Repeat the
adjustment until
the
optimum alignment
is
achieved.
Refit the door trim pad.
Upward Adjustment
Remove the door trim pad. Slacken off the regulator locknut (Fig 6-B). With the door
closed,
operate the window
to the fully closed position and tighten the locknut. Refit the door trim panel.
Front to Rear Adjustment
Remove the door trim pad. Partially lower the window to allow access to the glass channel mounting bracket (Fig

6C).
Slacken
the
four
screws
to allow
glass
movement.
Move
theglass
to the
required position
and tighten
the screws.
Close the window and recheck the alignment. Repeat the adjustment as necessary until the optimum front to rear
alignment is achieved. Refit the door trim pad.

Bench Mounting
The base station may also be mounted on a bench, which
must be in a safe position, stable and protected form
hazards and impacts. The base station must be mounted
at the back of the bench. 'Z' clips are provided for
permanent mounting. The bench surface must be kept free
from dust at all times.

CAUTION:
A gap under the base station must be
maintained free from obstructions to allow a flow of air
under the unit for cooling.
Electronic Module installation
WARNING: The base station electronic module must be
disconnected from the mains supply prior to installation/
removal from the base station assembly. DO NOT
reconnect to the mains supply until the module is safely
fitted into the base station. This unit must be earthed.

Note:
Users in North America are advised to replace the
ceramic mains fuse in the electronic module with theglass
fuse supplied.
Procedure

1.
Unlock the base station door

2.
Pull the right spring-loaded hinge (Fig 4-1) and
remove the door.
3. Removetheelectronicsmodulefrom the packaging
and place it on a firm surface.

4.
Remove the two screws and washers from the front
of the module (Fig 4-3).
5. Insert the mains power lead into the socket at the
rear of the module Fig 4-4), DO NOT CONNECT
TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.
6. Insert the two guide pins on the sides of the module
(Fig 4-5) into the base station slots.
7. Slide the module into the base station until fully

home,
raise the front so that it is level and draw it
slightly forward.
8. The two connectors on the front of the module will
appear through the matching holes in the base

station.
Support the module whilst refitting the two
retaining screws and washers (Fig 4-6).
9. Secure the mains lead to the underside of the base
station using the two cable ties provided (Fig 4-7).

10.
If bench mounting, the base station will need to be
turned on its back to install and secure the mains

lead.

11.
Refit the base station door.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid the sharp edges of the
module whilst installing. Take care to support the
module from the underside until the mounting
screws are secured.

Powering-Up the Base Station
When first operating the System or when first using
a PDU fitted with substitute batteries, it will take up
to36 hourstoachievefull charge. Inthemeantime,
the PDU can be used whilst connected to the base
station or to the vehicle battery.
Vi/\RNmGS:
When using the system equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including:
Carefully read and follow all instructions.
Care should be taken as burns can occur from
touching hot parts.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
mains lead or if the appliance has been dropped or
damaged. Call your local GenRad Service Centre
immediately for a substitute
part.

Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge
of the
table, bench or counter or come into contact with
hot manifolds or moving fan blades.
The Aston Martin Portable Diagnostic Unit
is
fitted with an
auto switching power supply suitable for voltage supplies
of 100 - 240 VAC 50 - 60 Hz. You need only check that
the power cord connector is of the correct type for your
power outlets.

1.
Connect the mains lead to the mains outlet.

2.
Check that the green indicator lamp above the base
station door is illuminated. If the green lamp does
not come on, see the problem solving section for
advice.
3. After a few seconds, during which the electronics
module completes its self-test, the red OK indicator
lamp should illuminate. If the red lamp does not
come on, see the problem solving section for
advice.

4.
Allow the base station electronics module to reach
working temperature. This will take approximately
BOminutes, after which time the base station will be
ready to accept the software on CD-ROM.
5. Slide the PDU into its carrying case and place the
associated cables and probes in the carrying case
compartments.
6. Place the carrying case onto the base station at the
far left side (Fig 5). This is the normal place for
charging the battery, loading software and storing
the PDU. Note that it is retained by raised retaining
blocks which fit inside the recesses under the
carrying cases (Fig 5).
7. Remove the protective coverfromthe PDU interface
panel socket (Fig
1
-7.6)
8. Usingthe PDU to base station cable (0064) connect
panel socket 6 to the base station left socket (Fig
1
-

19).
The indicator lamp will glow orange during
fast charge and yellow during trickle charging.
9. A second PDU can be fitted on the central position
on the base station and may be connected to the
right charging socket using a second cable (0064).
Note that both units may be charged simultaneously
but software may only be loaded from CD-ROM
using the left base station socket.
