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.

Cut off painted portion of cartridge nozzle along

edge of paint line.

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.

the whole top with water; then apply a mild foaming type

cleanser on an area of approximately two square feet.

Scrub area with a small soft bristle hand brush, adding

water as necessary until the cleaner foams to a soapy

consistency. Remove the first accumulated soilage with

a cloth or sponge before it can be ground into the top

material. Apply additional cleanser to the area and scrub

until the top is clean. Care must be exercised to keep the

cleanser from running on body finish as it may cause

streaks if allowed to run down and dry.

CLEANING SOFT TRIM

Procedure for Cleaning Folding Top Material

The top should be washed frequently with neutral soap

suds,
lukewarm water and a brush with soft bristles.

Rinse top with sufficient quantities of clear # water to

remove all traces of soap.

If the top requires additional cleaning after using soap

and water, a mild foaming cleanser can be used. Rinse

Procedure for Cleaning Coated Fabrics

Care of genuine leather and coated fabrics (includes

vinyl coated formed headlining) is a relatively simple

but important matter. The surface should be wiped oc-

casionally with a dry cloth, and whenever dirt accumu-

lates,
the following cleaning instructions should be used:

1.
Lukewarm water and a neutral soap should be used.

Apply a thick suds, worked up on a piece of gauze or

cheesecloth, to the surface.

2.
The operation should be repeated, using only a damp

cloth and no soap.

3.
The surface should then be wiped dry with a soft

cloth.

Polishes and cleaners used for auto body finishes,

volatile cleaners, furniture polishes, oils, varnishes or

household cleaning and bleaching agents should never

be used.

Procedure for Cleaning Carpet

Thoroughly brush or vacuum the floor carpet, in many

instances the floor carpet may require no further clean-

ing. If the carpet is extremely soiled remove carpet

from car and thoroughly vacuum to remove loose dirt;

then with a foaming type upholstery cleaner, clean ap-

proximately one (1) square foot of carpet at a time. After

each area is cleaned, remove as much of the cleaner

as possible with a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning the

carpet use an air hose to
"fluff"
the carpet pile, then

dry the carpet. After the carpet is completely dried,

use an air hose to again fluff the carpet pile.

After part to be replaced has been pulled off, all bits

of fabric and other foreign material should be removed

from body inner surface by scraping or through the use

of a solvent such as prep-sol or its equivalent. Both the

new cover and the body surface should be reasonably-

clean and dry before application of cement.
