remove striker and adjusting plates from pillar
(Fig. 6-14).
3. Prior to installation, seal all striker plate
attaching
screw
holes
with body caulking
compound.
4. Apply a 1/8" bead of body caulking compound
around entire back surface of striker plate.
5. Place striker and adjusting plates within scribe
marks on pillar and install striker plate at-
taching screws.
CAUTION:
Whenever a door has been re-
moved and installed or realigned, the door
SHOULD NOT be closed completely until a
visual check is made to determine if lock ex-
tension will engage in striker notch. A single
shim is installed behind the striker assembly
in production (Fig. 6-14).
This shim can be removed or additional shims
(available as service parts) can be installed if re-
quired.
Removal or addition of shims provides
fore or aft adjustment of the striker. To adjust
striker up or down and in or out, proceed as
follows:
Loosen striker plate attaching screws and
shift striker and adjusting plates as required
and tighten attaching screws (Fig. 6-14).
FRONT DOOR WINDOW GLASS RUN
CHANNEL INNER AND OUTER STRIP
ASSEMBLIES (DRAFT STRIPS)
Draft strips are used to form a belt seal between
door inner and outer panels and glass assembly.
The construction and attachment of these strips
vary with the body style involved, as follows:
"B & C" Hard Top and Convertible Styles - In-
verted lip inner ("J" strip) - Rubber outer
"B & C" Closed Styles - Multifilament pile inner
(pile) - Rubber outer
"A-07-17-39 and 67" Styles - "J" strip inner -
pile outer
"A-ll-69-35-55-65 and 80" Styles - pile inner -
rubber outer
"X-37" styles - "J" Strip inner - pile outer
" X - l l - 6 9 and 35" Styles - pile inner - rubber
outer
"E" - All Styles - "J" strip inner - pile outer
"Z" - All Styles - pile inner - pile outer
" F " - All Styles - pile inner - "J" Strip outer
On all "B & C", "E & A" bodies equipped with
deluxe trim, the inner draft strip is attached to the
door trim pad. All "B & C" outer draft strips are
attached with screws but need not be removed to
facilitate door window removal. All "X-E" and the
remaining "A" body style inner draft strips are
attached by clips. All "A-F-X-E and Z" outer
draft strips are attached with a combination of
clips and screws (usually one at each end, front
and rear).
On those styles equipped with a rubber lip outer
draft strip, only the inner draft strip need be re-
moved to facilitate door glass removal. On all
other styles, however, both inner and outer draft
strips must be removed preceding door glass
removal.
Removal and Installation
NOTE:
This procedure covers only draft strips
attaching directly to either the door inner or
outer panels. When the draft strip is attached to
a trim pad, it is removed as part of the trim
assembly.
1. The door window must be low enough to pro-
vide adequate clearance between top edge of
glass and draft strip to be removed. If simply
lowering window will not accomplish this need-
ed clearance, proceed as follows:
a. On styles equipped with a bolted-on lower
stop, or rubber stop in guide cam, remove
stop and lower window to bottom of door.
b. On styles equipped with a welded-on lower
stop, remove stop bumper to gain the re-
quired clearance.
c. If additional clearance is still needed, re-
move door window lower sash channel cam
and lower glass to bottom of door.
2. Remove draft strip attaching screws.
NOTE:
On most outer draft strips, the for-
ward attaching screw is hidden beneath the
ventilator division channel. This will require
either removal or loosening of ventilator as-
sembly to gain access.
3. Apply cloth-backed tape as a protective cover
to painted surfaces adjacent to strip assembly
to be removed.
4. Insert a flat-bladed tool (slotted to fit over
tang of clip) between door panel return flange
and strip assembly at clip locations (Fig.
6-15). Carefully pry clips from slots in panel
and remove strip assembly.
