FABRIC ROOF COVER (ALL STYLES EXCEPT STATION WAGONS)
DESCRIPTION
REMOVAL
The roof panel fabric cover is a vinyl coated fabric
covering applied to the roof panel. The fabric
covering is made in sections which are dielectri-
cally joined at the seams.
On certain styles a pad is located between the
fabric cover and roof panel. The pad is cemented
to the roof panel with nitrile type non-staining
cement. The roof panel fabric is cemented around
the perimeter only and not to the pad.
On other styles the roof panel fabric is cemented
to the entire surface of the roof panel with nitrile
type non-staining cement.
The roof panel cover is attached at the windshield
and back window opening by drive nails or staples.
Drive nails are used at the belt line of the rear
quarter area. A flexible retainer secures the fabric
cover inside the right and left drip moldings.
NOTE:
On certain
styles where roof panel
moldings are utilized, the fabric roof cover is
not secured at the windshield opening or inside
the roof drip moldings. The retainers utilized to
retain the roof panel moldings also secure the
fabric roof cover.
Prior to and during removal and installation of
fabric roof cover, review Figure 12-1, 12-2, 12-3,
12-4 and 12-5.

ure 12-3 is applicable only to styles equipped with a
