Door Weatherstrip
The door weatherstrips and windcords are attached
to the fence around the door openings. The weather-
strips are preformed and shaped.
Belt line Weatherstrips-Outer
The door and quarter panel outer belt weather-
strips on AP models are retained in the door panel
with spring type retainers (Fig. 155). On AR and AV
models, the weatherstrips are retained by tabs (Fig.
156). A rolling and lifting motion must be used to dis-
engage the tabs.

Apply an even continuous coat of cement to the
entire weatherstrip contact surface of the deck lid
opening (Fig. 157) and install the weatherstrip. Make
sure the molded corners of the weatherstrip are cor-
rectly positioned.
Tail
Gate Weatherstrip
Apply an even continuous coat of cement, starting
at the belt line, down one side, across the bottom and
up the opposite side of the lower opening (Fig. 158).

Sealing Compounds
Super Rubber Cement-This cement may be used
where a strong bonding of rubber parts to painted or
unpainted steel surfaces is desired. It can be used for
such purposes as the attachment of weatherstripping
on doors and luggage compartment lid, or for the at-
tachment of felt pads.
Windshield Rubber Sealer-A heavy viscosity, rub-
ber expander, this sealer can be used where rubber
is confined between a glass and metal channel, such
as on the windshield and rear window glass assembled

in one-piece type weatherstrips. This sealer will not
harm paint or chrome finish and can easily be re-
moved with a cloth before it sets.
Perfect Seal Sealing Compound-This sealer can
be used for all types of threaded joints, gaskets and
machined joints. The compound never dries out-
never sets hard. It is not soluble in gasoline, oil, anti-
freeze solutions, or water.
Body Seam Sealers (For External Sealing)-These
sealers can be used along welded joints, exterior roof
rails, exterior belt lines, B-post welds, weatherstrip-
ping, and floor seams. Upon drying, this type of ma-
terial forms a tough skin which can be painted with a
touch-up brush.
Heavy Sealing Putty (For Interior Sealing)-This
material, should be heavy, fibrous, putty-like com-
pound, which can be formed or rolled into pellets, or
long string shapes.
