DOOR SILL PLATE AND MOLDING

Figure 49 shows assembly details of both the door sill

plate and molding. The sill plate which retains the car-*

pet, the cowl trim windlace and lock pillar front edge

trim are retained to the body by six screws.

screws. The sill molding retainer is also fastened to the

body with screws.

REAR END

FOLDING TOP COMPARTMENT LID

Adjustments

Hinges

The folding top compartment lid should be adjusted so

that in the closed position the surface of the lid is flush

with surrounding body surfaces and space between lid

edge and body is 1/16" to 3/16" at sides and 3/16" to

1/4" at rear. Whenever lid position is changed on hinges,

lock engagement must be inspected and adjusted if neces-

sary. Adjust hinge position as follows:

1.
Scribe a line on lid surface following contour of hinge

strap.
This will ease observation of lid movement

during adjustment (fig. 51).

2.
To raise or lower top surface of lid, add or remove

hinge shims.

3.
To adjust spacing between lid edges and body, loosen

hinge-to-lid screws and shift lid as required.

Lock

Lock engagement may be adjusted as follows:

1.
Striker plates may be shimmed to adjust the depth

of lock engagement in striker plate. When this ad-

justment is made, release of lock should be tested

and adjusted as required.

2.
Release of lock may be adjusted by loosening lock

assembly retaining bolts and moving lock in ap-

propriate direction to the limit of slotted holes in

, lock base. Further adjustment may be gained by

moving cable retainer in appropriate direction.
Hinges

(Refer to Figure 52)

Removal

1.
Scribe around hinge as shown in Figure 51.

2.
Hinge may be removed as an assembly by opening

top compartment lid fully and removing 3 retaining

screws. Note number of shims found between hinge

frame and compartment floor.

3.
To remove spring from hinge assembly, close top

compartment lid as far as possible and insert Tool

J-9559 between expanded coils in spring. Opening

top compartment lid fully will allow removal of

spring as shown in Figure 53.

4.
As soon as spring is removed, insert long bolt sup-

plied with J-9559 through holes in end of tool, pass-

ing it through spring, and install nut on bolt.

Spring may be removed from J-9559 or J-9559 may be

installed in a new spring, by the following method:

1.
Place a closed 6 or 8 inch "C" clamp in a vise or

fasten it to a heavy bench top (bench should be fas-

tened to floor).

2.
Hook one end of spring in clamp and the other end

in hook of chain hoist, "cherrypicker" or equivalent,

as shown in Figure 54.

3.
Stretch the spring enough to allow insertion of

J-9559. Install through bolt if spring is not to be in-

stalled on hinge at once.

installation

1.
Install same number of shims as removed or, if

repairing collision damage, etc., position hinge in

compartment, install upper mounting screws, fill

gap between floor and hinge frame with shims and

install lower mounting screw.

2.
If spring has been removed from hinge, install

spring in J-9559 and place spring on hinge with com-

partment lid raised; closing lid releases J-9559 for

removal. Upper end of spring should rest in one of

three notches yielding best lid operation. About 3

pounds pressure should be necessary to close lid.

REAR WINDOW-ADHESIVE CAULKED-

19437 MODEL

For parts identification refer to Figure 55.

1.
Remove the 2 rear window garnish moldings by re-

moving the 14 attaching screws.

2.
Pry molding caps from reveal moldings.

3.
Carefully remove lower, side, and top reveal mold-

ings after marking their position on body with tape.

4.
Secure one end of steel music wire to piece of wood

for handle. Insert other end through caulking mater-

ial at lower corner of rear window; then secure end

of wire to another piece of wood (fig. 56).

5. With the aid of helper, carefully cut through caulking

material (using a sawing motion) with the steel wire;

up side of window, across top, down opposite side,

and across bottom of window.

6. Remove old glass from window opening.

7. Using a sharp scraper or wood chisel, remove ad-

hesive caulking material from body pinchweld flange.

NOTE:
It is not necessary to clean off all the

old caulking material completely from body

opening; however, there should not be any loose

pieces of caulking material left in the opening.

8. Check all reveal molding retaining clips for damage

(24 required). Replace those that are bent or dis-

torted with clips provided in kit.

9. Using weatherstrip adhesive, cement rubber spacers

at bottom, sides, and top of window opening. The

step-type spacers are used at bottom and sides, the

flat type are used at the top, sides, and bottom of

window opening as shown on Figure 55.

10.
Using suction cup holders, position replacement

glass in body opening. Carefully check relationship

of glass to body pinchweld completely around open-

ing. The overlap of glass to body pinchweld and re-

taining flanges should be equal with a minimum over-
lap of 3/16M. Where necessary, position shims under

the lower spacers to obtain required overlap of glass

to body upper and lower flanges.

11.
After proper glass to pinchweld relationship has

been attained, mark position with grease pencil on

glass and body as shown in Figure 57.

12.
Remove glass from body opening and place on pro-

tected surface.

13.
Clean inside edge surface of glass so that glass is

free of any foreign material (oil, grease, etc.).

Using 3/4" masking tape, place tape approximately

1/2 inch from edge of inside surface of glass com-

pletely around glass. Then apply a film of silane

primer to inside edge surface completely around

glass,
also apply silane primer to sealing surface

of pinchweld as shown in Figure 58.

15.
Mix adhesive caulking material and accelerator

] thoroughly according to directions on container.
NOTE:
Once caulking material is mixed, there

will be approximately 35 minutes of working

time with the material. Subsequent steps should

be performed immediately after caulking ma-

terial is mixed.

Place caulking material in cartridge as shown in

Figure 59.

Carefully apply a smooth continuous bead of caulking

material on inside surface of glass next to edge

completely around glass (fig. 60). Caulking material

should be approximately 1/4 inch wide at the base

and form a pyramid 3/8 inch high. If during appli-

cation the pyramid collapses, wait about 2-3 minutes

for material to set up. If an air bubble is encoun-

tered in material back up the applicator and apply

sufficient material to fill void and to dispense the

bubble before continuing.

The reveal molding clips are self sealing and do

not require sealing before installing the rear glass.

With aid of helper, lift glass and carefully position

glass on spacers, matching up marks on glass and

body as shown in Figure 61.

Press glass lightly to set caulking material to rear

window opening flanges. Paddle material where nec-

essary to insure proper seal.

Watertest rear window immediately using a cold

water spray. If any water leaks are encountered, use

flat bladed screw driver or stick and paddle caulking

material into leak point to correct leak. Correction

of leak is usually more effectively performed by

paddling material from inside the body.

CAUTION: Do not run a heavy stream of water

directly on caulking material while the material

is still soft.

22.

Install the reveal moldings in the following sequence:

Top,
sides, lower and the caps in each upper corner.

23.
Carefully remove masking tape from inside of glass

and install garnish moldings.
