39 and 89 Styles
The rear door weatherstrip is a one-piece
mechanically retained type. Mechanical retention
consists of a series of weatherstrip attaching
clips which fit into individual sealing plugs along
door bottom and sides. The weatherstrip is also
mechanically retained by nylon snap fasteners
at belt line of hinge and lock pillar panels. In
addition, 39 style rear door weatherstrips are
further retained by a single weatherstrip attach-
ing clip and screw at upper radius of lock pillar
panel. Cement usage is limited to door lock pillar
panels (at belt line) and at forward lower corners
of door. Cement, however, can be applied at any
point where additional retention of weatherstrip
is needed.
a. Removal
1. Remove snap fasteners securing ends of
weatherstrip at belt line of door hinge and lock
pillar panels.
2. On 39 style rear doors, remove single
weatherstrip attaching clip screw located at upper
radius of lock pillar,

weatherstrip to door. A flat-bladed tool, such as

ment bond, Fig. 16-42.
4. Insert tip of tool, J-5757, or any other suit-
able tool, at retaining clip locations and carefully
