Seals and Sealers
When replacing the polyethylene seal (Fig. 144), it
is necessary that the fence area is free of all cement,
sealers and other foreign material. Inspect the fence
area for burrs and misalignment and correct as nec-
essary.
(1) Apply a
y4
inch bead of sealer across the bot-
tom of the rear window opening and up both sides to
the lower edge of the upper corners (Fig. 144).
(2) Position one polyethylene seal to the window
opening fence at the lower section first, above the
sealer applied in step 1.
(3) Han,d pressurize the seal to the sealer.
(4) Apply the upper seal starting with a
%
inch
overlap (maximum) at the left hand side.
(5) Apply the balance of the seal and when fully in-
stalled, the seal should overlap the lower seal at the
right side by 2 inches (maximum).
(6) If overlap is greater than 2 inches, trim off the
excess amount at approximately a 30 degree angle
(Fig. 144).
(7) Hand pressurize both seals to avoid wrinkles
and puckers.
Installation
(1) Apply sealer cement to each lip of the weather-
strip glass groove.
(2) Install the weatherstrip on the glass, making
sure it is fully seated.
(3) Install twine into the fence groove area of the
weatherstrip starting at the top center of the weather-
strip.
(4)
With an assistant, position the glass and weath-
erstrip in the window opening.
(5) With the glass being supported on the outside,
enter the car and seat the weatherstrip on the fence
by pulling the twine (Fig. 145) downward and toward
the center of the glass.
