f i g ; 31-6 Installing Body Opining Masking Tape and Primer
(13) Remove masking tape from windshield glass.
(14) With two men working on the outside of vehicle,
work windshield into upper glass cavity and into each
side.
(15) Position a wooden wand (fig. 3N-1) under the
bottom of the glass and lift windshield up and into lower
glass cavity.
(16) Check for equal side clearances.
(17) Wipe soap and water solution from windshield
glass and rubber weatherstrip.
(18) Apply smooth, continuous bead of urethane ad-
hesive material around entire outside edge of windshield
glass and rubber weatherstrip. Bead should be 1/8-inch
in diameter.
(19) Use wooden wand to lock weatherstrip as shown
in locked position (fig. 3N-2 and 3N-3).
N O T E : Urethane adhesive material begins to cure af-
ter 15-minute exposure to air and moisture.
(20) Water test windshield immediately using cold
water spray. Do not direct hard stream of water on fresh
urethane adhesive material. If leaks are encountered,
apply extra urethane adhesive material with pointed
nozzle.
(21) Bottom mouldings are installed one at a time. To
facilitate installation, place a 1/8-inch diameter cord in
weatherstrip moulding retaining groove along entire
length of weatherstrip, leaving enough cord hanging out
at each end to permit a good grip on cord.
(22) Working first with either left or right bottom
moulding, place moulding in groove.
(23) Starting at the outside corner of the weath-
erstrip, pull up on cord while lightly tapping top of
moulding with rubber mallet. This will lock the mould-
ing in the weatherstrip retaining groove. Continue the
process until moulding is installed in weatherstrip. Re-
peat process with the other bottom moulding, again
starting at the outside corner.
(24) Install center moulding clip to cover gap be-
tween left and right bottom moulding.
(25) The one-piece top moulding is installed in the
same manner, except that the moulding is tapped up-
ward into retaining groove.
(26) Side and upper corner mouldings can then be
inserted in retaining groove and secured by installing
upper and lower screws.
