e. Adjustments—57, 39 and 29 Styles
With doors and windows closed, front door
window and rear door or rear quarter window
upper frames should make an even continous
contact with side roof rail weatherstrip. If neces-
sary, adjust weatherstrip, ventilator assembly,
front door window and rear door or rear quarter
window to obtain proper weatherstrip contact.
Attaching holes in the side roof rail weather-
strip retainer are elongated, allowing in and out
adjustment of side roof rail weatherstrip; how-
ever, the amount of adjustment is small and is not
intended to correct improper ventilator or door
window alignment. It is necessary to remove the
weatherstrip to adjust retainer.
