19. Fabric Roof Cover Assembly
The fabric roof cover is a vinyl-coated fabric
roof covering applied to the roof panel. A felt pad
is located between the fabric cover and roof panel.
The fabric covering is made of three parts with
center section dielectricaliy joined to side section
seams. The roof covering is attached at the wind-
shield and back window opening by drive nails.
Screws (or drive nails) are used at the belt line of
the rear quarter area. In addition, nitrile type
non-staining weatherstrip cement is applied to the
entire perimeter of the fabric roof cover.
On 6039 style, a flexible retainer secures the
roof cover inside the right and left drip moldings.
On 6357 style, the roof cover is retained at the
drip moldings by the roof panel side and rear
moldings, shown at C, Fig. 16-20.
