STATIONARY GLASS

ing-General Information" Section. If the origi-
nal glass is to be re-used, place it on a
protected bench or holding fixture and remove
old caulking material from glass with sharp
scraper or razor blade. Remove all remaining
traces with toluene or thinner dampened cloth.
NOTE:
Do not use an oil base solvent. Any
trace of oil will prevent adhesion of new caulk-
ing material to glass.
2. Using a sharp scraper or chisel,
remove
major portion of old caulking material from
pinchweld flange around rear quarter window
opening. It is not necessary that all material
be removed, but there should not be any loose
pieces left in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Check all reveal molding retainer clips. If
upper end of a clip is bent away from body
metal more than 1/32 of an inch, replace or
reform
clip to i n s u r e
adequate molding
retention.
NOTE:
Check all clip attaching screws and
tighten as required.
2. With black weatherstrip adhesive cement four
flat spacers (.20 x .63 x 1.0 - Part No. 4459429
or equivalent) to pinchweld flange; two at top
and two at bottom (see Fig. 4-20).
3. With black weatherstrip adhesive cement four
rectangular spacers (.34 x .44 x 1.0 - Part
No. 4871330 or equivalent) to rear quarter
window opening rabbet; two at sides and two
at bottom (see Fig. 4-20). Both side spacers
should be cemented in the approximate posi-
tion indicated in Figure 4-20. Both thinner
(#4404196 or equivalent) and thicker (#4534314
or equivalent) rectangular spacers are avail-
able as service parts.
4. Position glass in opening by making contact
along upper edge first and then swing in lower
edge (see Fig. 4-21 and 4-22).
5. Check relationship of glass to pinchweld flange
around entire perimeter. Overlap of pinchweld
flange by glass should be equal with a minimum
overlap of 3/16". Inadequate overlap across
top may be corrected by replacing two rec-
tangular glass support spacers across bottom
with thicker spacers.
6. Check relationship of glass contour to body
opening. Gap space between glass and pinch-
weld flange should be no less than 1/8" nor
more than 1/4". li difficulty is encountered

staying between these limits, correction can
be made by any one of the following methods:
a. Position another glass in opening to de-
termine if a better fit can be obtained.
b. Rework pinchweld flange.
c. Apply more caulking material than is spe-
cified at excessive gap areas. Material can
be applied to pinchweld flange or by allow-
ing bead on glass to exceed specified 3/8"
height at gap areas.
7. After final adjustments have been made and
glass is in proper position, apply a piece of
masking tape horizontally over front and rear
edges of glass and body pillars (Fig. 4-22), so
that tape on glass can be aligned with tape on
body and act as a guide when glass is installed.
8. Apply one inch masking tape completely around
edge of glass inner surface 1/4" inboard from
outer edge (see Fig. 4-23).
9. From
inside of body, apply masking tape
around window opening to protect painted and
trimmed surfaces.
