Weatherstrip
Fig. 16-24 Front Door Weatherstrip Removal
a. Removal
1. Remove snap fasteners securing ends of
weatherstrip at belt line of door hinge and lock
pillar panels.
2. Carefully break cement bonds securing
weatherstrip to door. A flat-bladed tool, such as
a putty knife, will prove helpful in breaking
cement bond, Fig. 16-25.
3. Slide tool, J-21104, or other suitable tool,
under weatherstrip at a fastener location and grip
fastener as close to door panel as possible; then,
gently pry fastener out of its respective door
piercing, Fig. 16-24.
CAUTION: Exercise care not to damage
serrations or fasteners during removal as they
are necessary to maintain a good weatherseal.
b. Installation
1. Check weatherstrip nylon fasteners for dam-
age and replace, if necessary.
2. Clean off old cement from door to insure a
clean cementing surface. Apply a bead of an
approved weatherstrip adhesive to lock pillar fac-
ing of door. Begin adhesive application at belt line
and continue down door for approximately seven to
nine inches, shown at B in Fig. 16-25.
NOTE: Cement usage is usually limited to
door lock pillar panel (at belt line) and at for-
ward lower corner of door, A in Fig. 16-25.
Cement, however, can be applied at any point
where additional retention of weatherstrip is
needed.
3. Beginning at either front or rear section of
door, install snap fasteners. Install weatherstrip
fasteners by pressing fasteners into door panel
piercings. A protected hammer can also be used
if necessary.
NOTE: In the event a weatherstrip becomes
damaged at a fastener location and will not
properly retain the fastener, remove fastener
and cement weatherstrip into place. If, however,
two or more consecutive fasteners will not re-
main engaged in the weatherstrip, replacement
of the weatherstrip will probably be necessary.
All door weatherstrips are impregnated with a
silicone lubricant and additional lubrication is not
required.
22. Front Door Lock Cylinder Assembly
a. Removal and Installation
1. Raise door window. Remove door trim as-
sembly and detach inner panel water deflector
sufficiently to expose large access hole.
2. Through access hole, with a screwdriver or
other suitable tool, disengage door lock cylinder
to lock connecting rod from door lock.
3. On all except 39 styles, with a suitable flat-
bladed tool, slide lock cylinder retaining clip for-
ward from door lock pillar facing sufficiently to
permit removal of lock cylinder with attached
connecting rod from door. On 39 styles, disengage
spring clip from inside of door.
NOTE: Door lock cylinder connecting rod
may be removed from lock cylinder as a bench
operation or prior to removing cylinder.
