Fig. 80 - Tapping Stationary G lass into Weatherstrip
. Install heavy rubber wedge between run channel and
8
inside edge of weatherstrip from front edge of
stationary glass at top around to front edge at bot­
tom. The round edge enters the rubber and the
ribbed side goes next to the run channel.
9. Install center weatherstrip on front edge of sta­
tionary glass with plush side next to sliding glass.
Apply 3-M Weatherstrip Adhesive or its equivalent
to the inside of this channel before installing. Push­
ing each end of weatherstrip on before pushing up the
center will eliminate the ends catching in the rubber
and give it a crowding effect at top and bottom for
tighter seal.
10. Feed one end of weatherstrip filler into handle of
special tool J-2189 and out through the end which
spreads the weatherstrip channel.
11. Starting at bottom center, insert the end of the tool
and end of filler in channel, tapered part of the filler
toward the glass.
12. While holding the tool firmly, with spreading end in
channel, follow around the channel spreading it open
and feeding the filler into the opening around the en­
tire weatherstrip. With the flat side of common
screw driver placed against the starting end of the
insert filler drive filler back an inch or two. Cut
off the other end to make snug joint and work into
channel. This prevents separation at joint after
window has been in service.
13. The run channel at front of window should be opened
up to allow for the extra thickness of the glass thumb
pull. Use a block of wood slightly wider than chan­
nel and with one edge rounded smooth so as not to
damage channel drive it in spreading the area around
the thumb pull until glass enters channel with rea­
sonable ease.
14. Install sliding window lock keeper on front edge of
door. With window pushed forward in closed posi­
tion, place keeper behind lock plunger and attach to
door with sheet metal screws.
pull out on knob and back on glass pull.
15. Locate (3) holes equally spaced across bottom of
window rubber on the outside. Keep holes in straight
part of rubber. Using 1/4" diameter drill bit start
holes inch below top edge of rubber and drill up
1 / 2
through bottom side of run channel providing holes
for water to drain out of channel.
16. Place metal channel over leading edge of weather­
strip with the short leg of channel on the plush side
of weatherstrip and tap on with rubber mallet. In­
stall stationary glass retainer clips at top and bot­
tom of center weatherstrip as shown in Figure 3.
Please note that there is a difference between top
and bottom clips. It is important that they be in­
stalled correctly. Without these clips the impact of
closing door will drive the stationary glass forward
and out of the rubber at rear of window.
