exposed. Remove screws to remove side roof
rail weatherstrip retainer (see Fig. 6-20).
NOTE:
The following procedure outlines the
recommended process of servicing side roof
rail weatherstrips on "E-87" styles when only
that portion over the door glass requires re-
placement.
The side roof rail weatherstrip consists of two
sections connected by a vulcanized joint. The front
section (over door glass) can be serviced sepa-
rately from the rear section (over rear quarter
window). Replacement of the rear section requires
replacement of the entire side roof rail weather-
strip. Replacement of front section, however, can
be accomplished individually by utilizing the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. With a sharp implement, sever the vulcanized
joint and remove front section of side roof rail
weatherstrip
as
outlined in the preceding
procedure.
2. Obtain a service replacement weatherstrip:
Part No. 7646017 - Right
Part No. 7646018 - Left
NOTE:
The service weatherstrip is equipped
with a nylon patch, half of which is cemented in
place (See Fig. 6-21). The other half is to be
cemented over the rear section of side roof
rail weatherstrip (over quarter window) as
directed in step #3.
3. Install replacement weatherstrip in the normal
manner and form a butt joint to quarter run
channel (see illustration). Use an approved
weatherstrip adhesive (preferably black) to
form butt joint.
4. With an approved neoprene cement, install re-
mainder of nylon patch (see Fig. 6-21) to cover
butt joint.
Removal-(Cadillac "E-47" Styles)

fasteners from front body hinge pillar (See
Fig. 6-22).
