Starting at bottom center of glass, insert a piece of
heavy cord, such as chalk line, in groove of weather-
strip. Cut the cord long enough so that about 10" of
free length exists at- each end after going around the
weatherstrip. Tie ends of the cord together in over-
hand knot and tape loose ends to inside surface glass.
Masking tape may be used to hold weatherstrip to
glass (fig. 89).
Apply a bead of sealer such as 3M1170 or equivalent
to apex of frame as shown in Figure 88.
Place window assembly in opening as shown in
Figure 89.
Grasp ends of cord and pull toward front of top
assembly. Exert gentle but firm pressure on outside
of window in the area where string is emerging from
weatherstrip. Figure 90 shows action of string on
weatherstrip; lip of seal is pulled out of frame apex
and over frame flange.
When string has been removed, carefully inspect
seating of lip over entire perimeter of window,
paying particular attention to corners. Remove tape
strips if used.
10. Apply a band of sealer in groove formed by weather-
strip and edge of window opening as shown in Figure
91.
11. Inject a moderate quantity of cement (3M-6699B or
its equivalent) between window and weatherstrip as
shown in Figure 92.
12. Install garnish and reveal moldings in reverse order
of removal. Note that upper reveal molding flanges
must pass between retainer and feeler stock. Feeler
stock is removed as molding is installed as shown
in Figure 93.

serrations before tightening mounting screws.
