a. General Precautions
When removing or installing any body exterior
molding certain precautions should be exercised:
1. Adjacent finishes should be protected with
masking tape to prevent damage to finish.
2. Proper tools and care should be employed to
guard against molding damage.
b. Sealing Operation
The following information is given to permit a
satisfactory sealing operation:
Medium-bodied sealer or body caulking com-
pound are the sealers most frequently used to
provide a watertight seal for anti-rattle measures.
Holes in body panels for screws, bolts, or clips
that would permit water to enter the interior of
the body should be sealed with body caulking com-
pound or presealed screws, nuts or clips.
Drip moldings require a 1/4 inch bead of
medium-bodied sealer along the full length of the
inner attaching surface. Door window scalps and
center pillar scalps require a 1/8 inch x 1/4 inch
x 1/4 inch bead of caulking compound at 5 inch
intervals for anti-rattle purposes. Pinch welds
require medium-bodied sealer on both sides when
pinchweld clips are used. The exception is the
rear quarter pinchweld on convertible styles
which requires waterproof tape over the entire
pinchweld, prior to clip installation.
