SIDE ROOF RAIL WEATHERSTRIP
ADJUSTMENT
The side roof rail weatherstrip can be adjusted
either inboard or outboard to effect a proper seal
with the door or quarter window. To reposition the
weatherstrip,
disengage
t h e inboard e d g e of
weatherstrip from retainer and loosen retainer
attaching screws. Adjust retainer as required and
tighten
s c r e w s .
F o r proper relationship of
weatherstrip to door window, refer to ' 'Front Door
Window Adjustments".
CENTER PILLAR WEATHERSTRIPS-
" C - 6 9 " Styles
The center pillar weatherstrips are retained with
adhesive in retainers that are screwed to the center
pillar. In addition, the weatherstrips are retained
at the top by a barb in the retainer that engages
the weatherstrip. Due to the presence of the barb,
a center pillar weatherstrip cannot be removed by
sliding it out at the bottom of the retainer. Instead,
it must be worked out of the retainer with a flat-
bladed tool. Starting at the lower end and working
upward, disengage weatherstrip from retainer out-
board flange.
Although the weatherstrip cannot be slid out of the
retainer, it is installed by engaging the upper end of
the strip with the lower end of the retainer and
sliding the strip upward. Prior to installing weath-
erstrip, apply a bead of black weatherstrip adhesive
to outboard flange of retainer to secure weather-
strip when it is installed.
NOTE:
The center pillar weatherstrips can be
adjusted inboard or outboard to achieve a better
seal with the door window. To reposition the
weatherstrip, remove weatherstrip from retainer
and adjust retainer in or out as required.
