cord around the enti~e molding and into bot-
tom of the groove (fig. 48). Tie cord and,
with long ends hanging over, tape them to
the front side of the assembly (fig. 49).
( 3) Hold the assembly in the body
opening and push one end of the assembly
into end of body opening (fig. 49).
( 4) Roll the rubber molding flange
over the edge of body for a short distance,
just so the assembly will hold itself in place.
Then push the assembly against the edge of
opening in the body all the way around. A
strip of celluloid and sheet metal will aid in
pushing the assembly into place (fig. 50).
( 5 ) While pressing the glass forward,
pull the ends of string, one at a time, directly
away from the glass (fig. 51). This will pull
the flange of rubber molding to the outside.
( 6) Seal the rubber channel and glass
with "MoPar Windshield Sealer." Be sure
the sealing compound goes along the edge of
glass between the glass and rubber, making
a water tight joint when the rubber springs
back against the glass. Work a thin coating
of "MoPar Windshield Sealer" between the·
outside of fence and rubber molding to make
a water tight joint at that point (fig. 4 7).
( 7) Install the metal moldings on front
of windshield. Install the clips on ends of
moldings.
1936-37-Install the channel frame on
the glass and install the screws at the frame
