DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Both f r on t s e a t ba c k l a t c he s

automatically release when either front

door is opened. In each front door hinge

pillar there is a switch connected to

battery power. Opening the door closes

the switch and sends power to energize

a relay switch. When the relay switch is

closed, it sends power to two solenoids,

one mounted on each seat back (Figs. 1

through 4). The actuating rod of the

solenoid is connected to the latch pawl.

When the solenoid is energized i t

operates the pawl to release the latch. If

the electric system does not function, the

latch can

 be

 released manually

 by

 moving

the seat back release handle. If the seat

back fails to release automatically when

the door is opened, remove the seat back

trim cover and/or carpet far enough to

inspect and test latch mechanism. See

Figs. 1,2 and

  3.

 NO TE : After performing

any work on the seat back latches, check

for smooth operation of the latches. The

latch should not stick or bind. Check that

the latch does restrain the seat back from

moving forward. Be sure that the latches

f u n c t i o n b o t h a u t o m a t i c a l l y a n d

manually.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

LUMBAR POWER SEAT

The lumbar power seat provides

adjustable control of the contour of the

driver's seat. It enables the driver to

select the amount of support he desires

for the lumbar region of

 his

 back (Fig. 1).

It consists of a reversible motor

driven directly off of the battery, a driver

controlled switch for reversing the

motor's direction of rotation and a

mechanical drive train from the motor

output shaft to a metal plate which is

driven forward and backward to effect

the change in seat contour. The drive

train consists of a flexible drive cable, a

gearbox with a worm shaft output and a

lever between the worm shaft and seat

plate (Fig. 2).

When the lumbar power seat control

switch is pressed to the forward (OUT)

position, the motor drives the contour

plate toward the forward maximum

support position. When this switch is

pressed to the rear (IN) position the

motor drives the contour plate toward

the back minimum support position.

When the switch is released the contour

plate remains in the position selected by

the driver. The range of plate travel is 1.9

inches. The lumbar power seat adjuster

mechanism is installed into the seat back

assembly as a com plete assembly.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Two distinct front outboard seat belt

systems are being installed in 1977. One

system, used in previous years, is the

three point system. A  new system is also

used and it is called the   continuous loop

system.

The thre e point system has a fixed

tongue on the front outboard lap/

shoulder belt and two retractors. The

continuous loop system has a movable

tongue on the front outboard lap/

shoulder belt and only one retractor.

The seat belts and shoulder belts are

factory installed in their proper locations.

If the seat belts or shoulder belts are

removed for any reason, they should be

installed as shown in Figs. 3 through 16.

Sealer should be placed around all seat

belt anchor bolt holes in the floor pan.

Tighten the anchor bol ts to the

specification shown at the end of this

Part.

Belt assemblies must be installed in

matched sets as received and must not be

interchanged between vehicle models.

If a component portion (buckle

portion, retractor portion, etc.) of a  seat

belt or shoulder belt assembly is

nonfunctional or damaged, the entire

assembly (buckle, tongue and shoulder

harness portions) must be replaced.

 The

replacement assembly must be installed

as a matched set and the identification

labels on all portions must bear exactly

the same code, date of manufacture and

m a n u f a c t u r e r ' s n a m e . U n d e r n o

circumstances are seat belt or shoulder

belt components to be replaced as

individual components.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

Both systems incorporate a buzzer

and light w arnings. The seat belt warning

light illuminates for about eight seconds

after the ignition switch is turned on—

regardless of seat belt usage. The seat belt

warning buzzer is grounded by a switch

in the left lap retractor, on the three point

system and by a switch in the left inboard

buckle on the continuous loop system.

The seat belt warning buzzer will sound

for approximately eight seconds unless

the driver's belt is used.

When the occupant restraint system

for front outboard passengers is a 3-point

sy s tem,  the outboard lap belt and

shoulder harness are sewn together at the

tongue. To secure the belts, the tongue is

inserted into the buckle.

On the three point system, the

webbing for the lap belt extends from a

belt retractor that automatically locks

when the belt is being worn. This lock

prevents the belt from being pulled out

further, but allows the belt to retract, and

thus maintains a snug fit around the user

for optimum safety. This lap belt

retractor is located

  on

  or

  in

  the rocker

panel (depending on car line and model).

With the continuous loop system, the

outboard lap/sh ould er bel t uses a

common sliding tongue. To secure, insert

the tongue into the inboard buckle.

The webbing for the lap belt is

anchored to the side of the sill without

a retractor.

On both systems, the shoulder

harness webbing has the other end fixed

in a retractor, which is located in or on

the rocker, in the  " B" pillar post or in the

quarter panel (depending on car lint; and

model). The Mustang, Pinto, Bobcat,

Thunderbird, Ford, Lincoln, Granada

and Monarch (2-doors) shoulder har-

ness retractor is located in the quarter

panel. The Mark V shoulder belt

retractor is located in the headlining

above the opera window. This webbing

then passes through a guide above and

behind the occupant's shoulder which

directs the webbing at the proper

downward angle over the occupant's

shoulder and chest, and attaches to the

lap belt connector.

  The shoulder harness

retractor is designed to let the webbing

freely move in or out at all times, except

during vehicle deceleration, when it is

automatically locked by a mechanically

actuated inertia sensor  (Fig. 1).

The inboard belt with the buckle

passes through the seat on bench seat

installations and directly to a fixed

anchorage on the floor on bucket seat

installations. Attaching the tongue and

buckle secures the occupant with both

lower and upper res t ra in ts . This

attachment of the tongue and buckle can

be accomplished by a single continuous

movement.

The 2-point system (lap belts only)

continues for the front seat center

position and all rear seat positions.

OPERATION

To fasten the front lap shoulder belts

after entering the car on the three point

system, adjust the front seat to obtain the

best position for your driving comfort

and visibility. Then, use the following

sequence for fastening belts.

1.  Pull the lap-shoulder belt from the

retractor in one continuous motion,

so shoulder portion of belt crosses

your shoulder and chest and insert the

belt tongue into the proper buckle. If

the pulling motion is interrupted

while extending the belt, it may be

necessary to return the lap belt to the

stowed, or fully retracted positon, in

order to release the stop mechanism

in the lap portion of the belt.

2.  Adjust lap portion of seat belt snugly

around the hips

  —not the waist, by

allowing any excess belt to return into

the retractor.

3.

  The shoulder restraint portion of the

belt adjusts automatically to a snug

position. The inertia reel attached to

the shoulder belt allows freedom of

movement, locking tightly only on

h a r d b r a k i n g o r i m p a c t s o f

approximately 5 mph or more. The

reel cannot be made to "lock up" by

jerking on the webbing.

Front Center Lap Belt

The center seat belts do not have

retractors. To lengthen the belt, tip the

tongue.

To fasten the belt, insert the tongue

into the open end of the buckle until you

hear a snap. Shorten the belt, if necessary,

by pulling on the loose end of the

webbing. The belt should be snug across

the hips; never across the waist.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The door window mechanism should

be well lubricated to provide ease of

operation. The window glass mechanism

should be lubricated whenever the glass

channel or window regulator is removed

or excessive effort is required to operate

the windows. To lubricate a door window

mechanism, apply an even coating of

Polyethylene grease (19584) or

equivalent to the window regu

rollers, shafts and the entire length

roller guides as illustrated by the s

areas in Fig.l.

TEST—PERMANENT MAGNET

TYPE

To test the current draw of a power

window motor, remove the motor and

drive assembly from the vehicle. Refer to

the specific part of Group 42 for the

removal procedure.

Test Procedure

1.  Connect an external power source

(power-pac or a fully charged ba ttery)

to the motor with an ammeter in

series as shown in Fig. 2.

2.  Operate the motor and observe the

current draw. The current draw for

the no-load test should not exceed

specification (at end of this part) and

should not fluctuate. Reversal of the

motor wire connections will reverse

the direction of motor rotation.

Replace the motor if the current draw

exceeds specification.

POWER W INDOW SWITCH TESTS

Master Switch—With Quarter

Windows

Testing of the power window master

switch should be performed with the

switch removed from the vehicle. Use a

Separate adjustment steps are given

for each adjustment so that a partial glass

adju stme nt can be performe d. If a

complete glass adjustment is required,

follow the ad justments in the order given.

All window mechanism adjustments

must be performed with the door trim

panel and w atershield removed. After the

adjustment(s) are completed, install the

watershield and trim panel.

Glass Position—Fore and Aft

It is necessary to reposition the glass

upper attaching screw and upper guide

(Item A, Fig. 1), and reposition the glass.

Position the upper guide and tighten the

upper run attaching screw after glass is

moved to desired position.

Stabilizer Adjustment

glass at the belt line. The trim panel must

be removed to adjust the stabilizers.

Then, with the glass in the up position,

push the front stabilizer firmly against

the glass surface and t ighten the

attaching screw (Item B, Fig. 1). Repeat

the procedure for the rear stabilizer.

Glass In-Out

The in-out adjustment is used to

obtain a good seal with the weatherstrip

at the top edge of the glass. This

adjustment is made by repositioning the

guides with respect to the glass bracket.

To adjust the in-out of the glass, loosen

the two lower guide attaching screws

(Items C , Fig. 1), and move the top edge

of the glass inward or outward as

The upper stop adjustments are used

to limit the up travel of the glass to

maintain

 a

 constant g lass height when the

glass is raised to the full closed position.

The door trim panel must be removed to

adjust the up stops. To adjust the stops,

raise the window to the up position.

Check to be sure that there is no

interference when the door  is

The lower stop is used to control the

depth the glass can be lowered into the

door. To adjust the lower stop, remove

the door trim panel. Loosen the lower

stop retaining screw (Item E, Fig. 1), and

lower the glass until the top edge is flush

to 1/4 inch above the outer panel. Then,

lift the stop against the glass bracket and

DESCRIPTION

Thunderbird

 and

  Continental Mark

V mini-vent systems operate in the same

manner

 as the

  Lincoln Continental;

h o w e v e r ,

  the

  i n t e r n a l c o n t r o l

mechanisms

  are

  quite different.

  The

adjus tments

  for the

  door glass

 are

similar; however, the adjustment for the

mini-vent window assembly is entirely

different.

The mini-vent front door window

electric mechanism has a single tubular

run with

 a

  slidedown vent glass.

 One

switch controls the operation of both

 the

vent

  and

  main side glass. When

 the

window switch

 is

 moved

 to the

 lower

position, the  vent lowers into the door

first. When the vent is completely down,

the main glass lowers into

 the

 door.

 The

glass

 and

 vent operates

 in

 reverse (glass

and then vent) when raising the window

The vent

 or

 main glass

 may be

 stopped

in any position between open and closed.

NOTE: To

 ensure proper Mini-Vent

Window operation, remember to apply

the special mini-vent lubricant  to all

areas shown

 in

 Fig.

 19.

MAIN GLASS ADJUSTMENT

(REFER

 TO

 FIGS.

 1

 THROUGH

 4)

The main glass

 of the

  system shifts

slightly as the vent reaches the end of its

cycle. Therefore, if you check the door

window adjustments with

  the

  vent

window down,

 you

  will find that they

change after

  the

  vent window

 is

 raised.

Always make sure that

 the

 vent window

is fully raised when checking

 any

adjustment.

Fore and

 Aft

 Adjustment

Both fore

  and aft and

  equalizer

adjustments

 are

 used

 in

 combination

 to

get

 a

 good

 fit of

 the door glass along

 the

A-post (parallel to weatherstrip retainer)

and  the top of the  door glass. It is

i m p o r t a n t t h a t

  any

  fore

  and aft

adjustment of the

 run is

 accompanied by

an upper guide ti l t adjustment

  to

maintain a good it o the A-post.

 Do not

try

 to

 adjust the glass parallel

 to

 the

 B-

pillar.

When re-adjusting

  the

 system, with

the tilt or fore and aft, the rear up-stop

  be

  loos ened

  and the

  las t

component secured.

To adjust

  the

  glass forward

  or

rearward, loosen  the glass run  upper

attaching screw (Fig. 1), and the rear up-

stop.

 Then, position

 the

 glass forward

 or

rearward as required, and  tighten the

glass run  upper attaching screw. To tilt

the glass forward

 or

 rearward, loosen

 the

screws attach ing

 the

 upper guides

 to the

guide plate (Fig. 1). Then, rock

 or

 tilt the

glass forward

  or

  rearward

 as

 necessary,

and tighten the attaching screws. Adjust

the rear up-stop

 if

  no other adjustments

are

 to be

  performed.

Glass In-Out Tilt

The in-out tilt adjustment

  is

 used

 to

o b t a i n  a  g oo d s e a l a g a i n s t  the

weatherstrip along the top edge of the

glass.  This adjustment

  can be

 made

 by

loosening

 the

 screws attaching

 the

  lower

plastic guide

 to the

  guide plate bracket

(Fig.

 1).

 Then, move

 the

 glass

 top

 edge

in or out to obtain a good seal with the

roof rail weatherstrip,

 and

 tightSn

 the

guide attaching screws. The rear up-stop

should

 be

  loose during this adjustment.

Up Adjustment

With

 the

 main glass

 in the

 full

position, cycle

 the

 vent glass until

 the

vent window cap is raised above the door

belt line. Loosen the regulator arm roller

attachment and both up-stops. Manually

lift the door glass bracket assembly un til

the

 top

 edge

 of

 the door glass seats into

the weatherstrip sufficiently

  to

 obtain

 a

good seal, especially at the  upper rear

attachments

 to

  6-11 ft-lbs torque,  [f the

UP position of the  glass must be re-

adjusted, both door glass stops must

 be

loose

 and the up or

 down adjustment

made with the regulator arm roller only.

Upper Stop Adjustment

Raise the glass to the UP position,

checking to be sure that the top eclge of

the glass contacts  the  weatherstrip

sufficiently

 to

 provide

 a

 good seal. Then,

position

  the

  upper front stop bracket

down against

 the

 glass stop

 and

 tighten

the attaching screw. Position

 the

 upper

rear stop down against

 the

Front Door Vent W indow Guide

Adjustment

The front guide is held in position by

a retainer attached to the door hinge

pillar by a screw. To adjust the front

guide, loosen the screw and lower the

door window and vent glasses. The front

guide locates itself in the adjustment slot.

Before tightening the retainer screw

check the vent g lass for proper

installation into the front guide.

VENT GLASS ADJUSTMENT

There are two basic vent window

adjustments; an in-out adjustment and

an up-stop adjustment.

In-Out Adjustment

To adjust the vent window in or out

at the belt l ine, f irs t remove the

weatherstrip end cap from the front edge

of the door. With the weatherstrip end

cap removed, insert a 7/16 inch open end

wrench through the access opening in the

door and adjust the acorn-head adjusting

bolt as necessary. Turning the adjusting

bolt in or out will move the mini-vent in

and out. The vent assembly should be

adjusted so that a parallel dimension is

obtained between the door outside belt

and the vent glass assembly. However, in

some instances, it may be necessary to

position the vent glass inboard to secure

a good seal to the A-post.

This is the only adjustment that can

be performed on a mini-vent window

system without removing the trim panel.

If the vent is adjusted inboard wii:h the

acorn bolt, make sure that the vent glass

raises full UP when cycled. If the vent

does not go full UP, remove the trim

panel and adjust the vent up-stop.

Up-Stop Adjustme nt

The vent up-stop can be adjusted up

or down through an access hole in the

door inner panel. The up-stop should be

adjusted so that the vent glass is flush

with the leading top edge of the door

glass. The division bar cap will extend

slightly above the two pieces of glass

when they are flush.

Re-check the in-out adjustment after

adjusting the up-stop. If a main glass re-

adjustment is performed, the vent up-

m u s t b e r e m o v e d p r i o r t o a n y

adjustment.

Fore and Aft Adjustment

The fore and aft adjustment of the

entire door glass and m ini-vent assembly

can be made by loosening the front vent

channel attachment and the 3 bolts in the

glass bracket (Fig. 6). Then, position the

glass fore or aft as required.

It will also be necessary to adjust the

equalizer assembly to obtain a proper

glass-to-weatherstrip relationship.

NOTE:

 If sluggish o r binding window

operation develops, loosen the front vent

channel upper attachment lock nut and

cycle the system. The vent channel may

not be properly set with the tube upper

channel.

Equalizer Adjustment

This adjustment pertains to the

relationship of the glass-to-weatherstrip

at the roof rail and the windshield "A"

post.

If the glass system is "tilted" in the

opening, where the forward or rearward

ends of the glass are low to its respective

weatherstrip, the system can be rotated

in the opening by loosening the upper

plastic guide attachments on the main

glass brackets, and rocking the glass on

the tubular run (Fig. 7).

Flipper Arm Adjustment

An adjustable "flipper arm" at the

end of the main glass drive arm is

provided to establish the full up position

of the main glass assembly.

If you find, after you have adjusted

the equalizer, that you are unable to get

the top edge of the glass into the

weatherstrip, check the "up-stops" to

make sure they are not improperly

positioned. Next, loosen the (2) bolts

retaining the flipper arm to the drive arm,

and adjust the flipper arm upward to

obtain the needed height (Fig. 7).

CAUTION: This is a very critical

adjustment. Improper adjustment could

cause sluggish or slow operation of the

entire system. Allow from 1/8" to 3 /16 "

of slot opening above the bolt washer for

proper set (see Fig. 7).

In-Out Adjustment

Make the "in-out" adjustment by

loosening the screws attaching the lower

plastic guide to the guide plate bracket

and moving the window assembly in or

out at the roof rail weatherstrip. The

glass should be off the stops to make this

adjustment (Fig. 8).

Stabilizer Adjustment

There are two stabilizers on the main

glass assembly (Fig. 8). One stabilizer is

mounted forward of the tube and one

rearward.

Raise the window to the full-up

position, loosen the retaining bolt on the

stabilizer and slide in or out to a finger

tight fit to the glass.

MINI-VENT ADJUSTMENTS

Refer to Figs. 9 thru 12

There are three adjustments for the

mini-vent assembly; an up-stop, in-out

and a vent full-up adjustment.

Also, it's important that the lower

mini-vent channel blade attachment be

properly positioned in the fork retainer.

Vent-Up-Stop-Adjustment

1. To obtain a parallel fit of the leading

edge of the mini-vent glass to the

main glass assembly, loosen the vent

up-stop attachment and position up

or down as required (Fig. 9).

In-Out Adjustment

1.

  To adjust the in-out relationship

the mini-vent glass to the main gla

assembly, loosen the mini-ve

channel upper adjustable attachme

lock nut (Fig. 10).

2.  Using a 9/32 " Allen wrench, turn

adjustable screw right (inboard)

left (outboard) to obtain a paral

relationship of the mini-vent glass

the main glass assembly.

NO TE: It's a good idea to sight do

the glass assemblies from the rear of

door, to make sure th at the mini-vent a

main glass assemblies are  parallel.

This will prevent improper inboa

outboard channel adjustment that c

cause the mini-vent to be out of line w

the main glass assembly. This conditi

may bind the vent brackets and result

a mini-vent that will lower, but not ra

Vent Full-Up Position

Adjustment

1. Loosen the two bolts retaining t

vent arm cam plate on the regulat

assembly and position the moveab

cam plate to the lowest side of t

attaching slots on the door inn

panel (Fig. 11).

2.  If you are unable to get the mini-ve

assembly raised to the full-up positi

by adjusting the stops and the ca

plate, you may have to elongate t

lower adjustment slot in the do

inner panel at the regulator cam pla

attachment.

Channel Blade Attachment

Position

The lower mini-vent channel bla

attachment must be properly position

between the two fork rubber prongs. T

prongs are designed with a specifi

clearance between them, to allow t

lower channel to "float" during wind

operation (Fig. 12). If not proper

positioned, the mini-vent may bind-u

causing it to lower but not raise.

ADJUSTMENTS

Separate adjustment steps

 are

 given

for each adjustment so that a partial glass

adjustment

  can be

  performed.

  If a

complete glass adjustment

  is

 required,

follow the adjustments in the order given.

All adjustments should be made after the

door glass is properly adjusted and must

be performed with

 the

 trim panel

 and

w a te r sh i e ld r e m ove d . A f t e r  the

adjustment(s)

  are

  completed, check

 the

glass

 for

 air and w ater leaks and readjust

if necessary. Then, install the watershield

and quarter trim panel.

Weatherstrip lubricant or water can

be used

 to

 inspect

 for

  proper sealing

 of

glass against a  weatherstrip. When the

weatherstrip

 is

 wet, the area that contacts

the glass will be dark black. Any area not

contacting the glass will be a dull grey.

Always check

 the

 glass

 for

 good sealing

against the weatherstrip after adjusting

the window mechanism.

Glass Position

Up and Down

The glass up and down adjustment is

used

 to

 obtain

 a

 good seal with

 the

 roof

w e a t h e r s t r i p   on  s l i d i n g g l a s s

mechanisms.

 To

 adjust, move

 the

  glass

to

 the

  closed position. Loosen

 the

 guide

front and rear attaching screws (Item A,

Fig.

 1).

 Move

 the

 glass

 up or

 down,

 as

necessary, to position the top edge of the

glass into

 the

 weatherstrip pocket.

 The

glass front edge at the  weatherstrip

should

 be

 parallel

 to the

 door glass rear

edge when properly positioned. Then,

tighten

 the

 guide attaching screws.

Glass Stop Adjustments

The glass stop adjustment  is used to

limit

 the

  forward travel

 of the

 glass

 to

maintain a constant position

 to the

 door

glass when the quarter glass is closed. To

adjust, loosen the stops attaching screws

REMOVAL

 AND

  INSTALLATION

Before removing the exterior

mouldings, it should be determined by

the type of retainer used whether a

respective door, quarter or luggage

compartment trim panel must first be

removed to provide access.

If a weld stud is distorted or broken

off, it should be replaced with a screw

(37956O-S1O1). Also, refer to Fig. 23 in

Part  43-01.

WINDSHIELD MOULDINGS

The windshield mouldings for the

various models are shown in Figs. 1

through 6. If the mouldings are retained

with retainers set in the glass opening, the

moulding should be released from the

retainers with the tool shown in Fig. 1,

Part  43-01.

BACK W INDO W MOULDINGS

(EXCEPT FRENCHED)

The back window mouldings are

shown in Figs. 7 through 17. If the

mouldings are retained with retainers set

in the glass opening, the moulding should

be released with the tool shown in Fig.

1, Part  43-01.

FRENCHED BACK W IND OW

MOULDINGS

The Special Order frenched back

window option with the half padded vinyl

roof cover, extends over and tucks under

the back window mouldings. A

  frenched back window appears to be

recessed down into the roof cover, with

no back window mouldings visible.

Removal

1.  Using a sharp knife or razor blade,

remove the bead of silastic rubber

adhesive from between the roof cover

and the back window glass.

NOTE: When cutting the seal, hold

the knife blade cutting edge against

the glass to avoid the possibility of

cutting the roof cover (Fig. 8).

2.

  Using a hooked tool fabricated from

a discarded Bowden control wire or

equivalent, (Fig. 8), carefully pull the

roof cover out from between the glass

and the covered back window

moulding.

NOTE: For added clearance, pry

up the covered moulding with a wood

wedge or a putty knife blade. Do not

use heat to soften the vinyl.

3 .

  Carefully peel the roof cover back at

least one inch from the moulding.

This is a critical phase of the repair

as the vinyl cover and the padding can

be seriously damaged unless the cover

and the padding is carefully cut away

from the moulding and the roof panel.

Usually the padding will stick to the

cover as it is pulled up and back from

the moulding. A blunted putty knife

can be used to push the pad away or

a sharp knife can be used to cut the

pad away from the moulding and roof

panel.

4.  Secure the peeled back cover and

padding with tape as shown in Fig. 8,

to about one inch beyond the

mouldings around the entire back

window.

NOTE: The cover and pad are

shown peeled back more than

necessary for illustration purposes.

5.  Remove the back window mouldings

using tool shown in Part

  43-01,

 Fig.

1.

Installation

1.  Install the back window mouldings.

2.  Using Vinyl Top Adhesive (D4AZ-

19C525-A) (or equivalent) with the

CR2033A

instructions shown in part 46-20,

install the peeled back portion of the

roof cover. The vinyl roof cover

wrinkles can be carefully pulled out

and the material pushed back into

position under the mouldings using

the reworked putty knife and the

wedge (Fig. 8).

NOTE: Do not use heat in an

attempt to eliminate wrinkles.

3 .  Reseal the glass-to-roof cover gap

with a thin bead of Dow Corning

Clear Silastic Adhesive or equivalent.

This adhesive can be tooled before it

starts to skin over so that it will not

show under normal inspection.

QUARTER W INDOW MOULDINGS

Cougar, LTD II, Ford and

Mercury Station Wagon Only—

For

 all

 other models, refer

 to

Part  43-01.

The quarter window mouldings (Figs.

13 and 14), are retained with retainers set

in the glass opening and should be

released with the tool shown in Fig. 1,

Part  43-01.

G L A S S B U T Y L T Y P E S E A L

There are two procedures applicable

to the installation of glass with butyl type

seal.

Procedure No.  1 should be used with

butyl kit (03863) packaged with 5/16

diameter butyl (round type). DO NOT

use this kit if adhesion of existing butyl-

to-pinch weld flange is unreliable, as

indicated by a surface which is not

smooth and free of excessive skips,

bumps and contamination.

Procedure No. 2 should be used with

butyl kit (03863) packaged with I

beam type butyl, where complete

repla cem ent of exis t ing butyl is

Removal (Procedure

 No.

 1

Engine must be off on vehicles

equipped with high voltage output type

heated glass.

1. Remove the windshield wiper arms

and blades if the windshield is being

replaced (Figs. 1 through 6).

2.

  Remove the window mouldings (Figs.

7 through 14).

3.

  On the heated back window, it will be

necessary to disconnect the window

wires at the connectors on both sides

of the window before proceeding with

the glass removal.

4.

  With an electric knife Tool No. T70B-

42006-A or equivalent (Figs. 15, 16

and 18), insert the blade under the

edge of the glass. Cut the butyl seal

as close to the inside surface of the

glass as possible. To cut the butyl at

the lower corners of the glass, move

the handle of the tool as close to the

corner as possible. Then, rotate the

blade downward to cut the corner

butyl seal and remove the glass from

the vehicle using the glass holding

tool (Figs. 15, 16 and 18).

Installation

1. Temporarily position the replacement

glass in the windshield opening using

spacers to prevent glass-to-metal

contact. Adjust glass side to side to

the best glass-to-"A" pillar weld

flange overlap position and adjust

lower spacers, if necessary, for proper

positioning at the top. A minimum of

3/16" butyl tape-to-glass contact is

required around the periphery to

assure proper retention and adequate

seal. Mark this location with a crayon

on the outside surface of the glass and

a corresponding point of the glass

opening. Remove the glass and clean

the in s ide s u r f ace and edge

thoroughly.

2.  Starting at the side of the glass

opposite the original butyl splice,

place the 5/16" diameter butyl

furnished in the kit on top of and in

a position that assures the 3/16"

minimum contact with the glass on

the existing butyl remaining on the

pinch flange. NOTE: Do not allow

the new butyl to overhang the edge of

the existing butyl and do not stretch

the butyl or bridge the corners of the

window opening.

3.  Carefully splice the two loose ends of

the new butyl.

4.  Apply the primer (furnished in the

kit) around the perimeter of the

cleaned inside surface and the edge of

the glass in the area that will contact

the butyl seal (Fig. 17). Allow the

primer to dry one minute before

installing the glass.

5.

  Place the glass in the opening,

aligning the crayon marks.

N

6. Firmly press the glass again

butyl with hand pressure or w

Recheck to assure that the

contact between glass and bu

achieved. A dull spot indica

area where the butyl is not cont

the glass surface. A dditional pr

will seal such areas.

  With

  a

  electric knife (special Tool

T70B-42006-A

  or

  equivalent), insert

the blade under

 the

 edge

 of

 the glass.

C ut  the  butyl seal  as  close  to the

inside surface of  the glass as possible.

To cut the butyl at the lower corners

of the windshield, move the handle of

the tool  as  close  to the  co rn er  as

p o ss ib le . Th en , ro ta te  the  b lad e

downward to cut the corner butyl seal

and remove glass from  the  vehicle

using the glass holding tool (Figs. 15,

16 and 18).

Installation

1. Clean  all  remaining butyl from  the

pinch weld flange and wipe the sheet

metal with naphtha

  or

  equivalent

solvent

  to

 provide

 a

  clean surface

 for

the replacement butyl.

2.  Inspect flange carefully  for  sheet

metal deficiencies,  and the  sealing

surface  of the  pinch weld flange  for

chipped

  or

  missing paint

  and

  repair

as necessary.

3.  Tempo rarily position the replacement

glass in the  windshield opening using

sp acer s  to  prevent g lass- to-m etal

contact. Adjust glass side  to  side to

th e b es t g las s - to - "A" p i l la r we ld

flange overlap position  and  adjust

lower spacers,

 if

 necessary,

 for

 proper

positioning

 at the

 top.

 A

 minimum

 of

3/16" butyl tape-to-glass contact  is

required around  the  per iphery  to

assure proper retention and adequate

seal. Mark this location with a crayon

on the outside surface of the glass and

a corresponding poin t

  of the

  glass

opening. Remove

 the

 glass

 and

 clean

t h e i n s i d e s u r f a c e  and  e d g e

thoroughly.

4.  Starting at the midpoint  on one A

pillar, place the butyl tape flush to 1/

16"

  inboard

 of

  the pinch weld flange

edge around

  the

  p er ip h ery

  of the

opening and along  the  raised area of

the cowl  top  panel provided  for the

seal. NOTE: Do not allow  the butyl

to b r id g e co rn er s  of the  w in d o w

opening and do not stretch the butyl.

5.  Cut the butyl at the  required length

on  a 45  degree angle and  carefully

splice the two  loose ends.

6. Apply

  the

  primer (furnished

  in the

k i t ) a ro u n d  the  p e r i m e t e r  of the

cleaned inside surface

 and the

 edge

 of

the glass

 in the

 area that will contact

the butyl seal (Fig. 17).

7.

  Allow

  the

 primer

  to dry one

 minute

before installing  the glass.

8 . Place  the  g l a s s  in the  o p e n i n g ,

aligning

 the

  crayon marks.

9. Firmly press

  the

  glass against

  the

butyl with hand pressure

 or

 weights.

Recheck  to  assure that  3/16  inch

contact between glass and  butyl  is

achieved.  A  dull spot indicates an

area where the butyl is not contacting

the glass surface. Additional pressure

will seal such areas.

WEATHERSTRIP LUBRICANT

Sil icone Lubr icant COAZ-19553-

A (Je l ly ) and COAZ 19533-C

(Spray) (or Equivalent)

This lubricant is to be used on the

door and window weatherstrips. It is

recommended that silicon lubricant be

applied to the weatherstrips at every

regular lubrication period and/or,

whenever necessary. Its use makes the

doors easier to close, avoids weatherstrip

squeaks, retards excess weatherstrip wear

from chafing between the door glass

upper frame and the weatherstrip. Also,

it helps to retain door window alignment

by reducing friction between the glass

frame and the rubber weatherstrip.

ADJUSTMENTS

DOOR ALIGNMENT

The door hinges provide sufficient

adjus tm ent to corre ct mos t door

misalignment conditions. The holes of

the hinge and/or the hinge attaching

points are enlarged or elongated to

provide for hinge and door alignment

(Figs. 1 and 2).

The lubrication points on the door

hinges are shown in (Figs. 1 and 2).

 Do

not cover up a poor door alignment with

a latch striker adjustment.

Side Doors

1. See Figs.

 1

 and 2, to determine which

hinge bolts must be loosened to m ove

the door in the desired direction.

2.

  Loosen the hinge bolts just enough to

permit movement of the door with a

padded pry bar.

3.  Move the door the distance estimated

to be necessary. Tighten the hinge

bolts and check the door fit, to be sure

there is no bind or interference with

the adjacent panel.

4.

  Repeat the operation until the desired

fit is obtained, and check the striker

plate alignment for proper door

closing.

5.  On all hardtop models, the door and

quarter glass must be checked to

assure proper alignment to the roof

rail and vertical weatherstrips. See

Group 42.

CR2035-A

DOOR LATCH STRIKER

The striker pin can be adjusted

laterally and vertically as well as fore and

aft. The latch striker should not be

adjusted to correct door sag.

The latch striker should be shimmed

to get the clearance shown in Fig. 3

between the striker and the latch. To

check this clearance, clean the latch jaws

and the striker area. Apply a thin layer

of dark grease to the striker. As the door

is closed and opened, a measureable

pattern will result on the latch striker.

Move the striker assembly in or out

to provide a flush itat the door and pillar

or quarter panel. Use Tool T7OP-21OO-A

to loosen and tighten the latch striker.

from side-to-side. Before adjusting the

deck lid latch make sure that the deck lid

is properly aligned. To adjust the latch,

loosen the attaching screws, move the

latch as required to enter the striker

without deflecting the deck lid sideways,

and tighten the attaching screws. Move

the striker plate up or down as necessary

to provide proper deck lid seal between

incorporated into the liftgate of Pinto and

Bobcat Station Wagon models. This latch

cycle consists of a first or secondary

position which latches the liftgate but is

not intended to seal the door to the

liftgate weatherstrip. The second or

primary latch position

 is

 designed to hold

the door firmly into the weatherstrip

section to preclude water leaks and/or

wind noise. To assure that the

  primary

latch has been activated when the liftgate

is fully closed, adjust the liftgate latch

striker plate as required to establish a

firm door-to-weatherstrip seal in that

position.

Back Panel Mounted Latch

Adjustment

The luggage compartment door latch

can be moved up and down in elongated

holes to obtain a snug fit between the

door and the weatherstrip. The latch

striker can be shifted from side to side to

obtain alignment with the striker.

ADJUSTMENTS

SUN VISOR—WITHOUT LIGHT

Occasionally a sun visor will not stay

in engagement with the retaining clip at

the center of the windshield. This could

be caused by the rod at the end of the

visor being too far in or out. Outboard

edge of rubber tip should be flush with

center clip (outer walls). Work the visor

in or out for proper engagement. If the

rod length is OK, the rubber tip on the

end may be worn.

SUN VISOR—WITH LIGHT

If the visor will not stay engaged in

the retaining clip at the center of the

windshield, loosen the visor retaining

screw (near the elbow) and shift the

sideways into proper position.

Tighten the v isor retain ing s

snug enough to hold the visor in the

position, but loose enough to allow

visor to be rotated up and down o

pivot shaft.

GENERAL INFORMATION

For detailed information on paint

repair, refer to the handbook entitled

Spot Repairing Original Enamel finishes

with Acrylic lacquer, Form FD-7953-Q.

CLEANING

Paint

The outside finish should be washed

frequently. Never wipe the painted

surface with a dry cloth. Dusting the

finish when it is dry tends to rub the dust

and dirt into the baked enamel, and

leaves a sandpaper effect on the surface.

To keep the finish bright and attractive

and eliminate the necessity of using

polish, wash the car whenever it has

accumulated a moderate amount of dirt

and road salt.

Wood Grain Transfers

Never wipe the panels or trim rails

with a dry cloth. This method of cleaning

tends to rub dust particles into the

finished surface and leave fine scratches.

Flush off all loose dirt and

elements, and wipe the body panel

rails with a sponge and plenty of

water. If desired, a mild soap ma

used. Rinse thoroughly with clear

and wipe dry.

Glass

The glass should be cleaned

Ford Glass Cleaner (C8AZ-19C50

or equivalent, using a clean, soft, lin

cloth. Follow the directions shown o

container.

the closed position into  a  storage space

between

  the

  headl ining

  and

  s ta t ionary

roof panel. This exposes

 an

  opening over

the front passenger seating area.

When  the  control  is  moved  to  close

the panel,

  the

  sliding panel travels from

the storage position. Near

 the end of the

forward travel,  the  rear portion  of the

s l id ing pane l moves upward

  on two

r a m p s  and the  rea r l ink ro ta te s  to

position

  the

  panel into

 the

  roof opening.

specif ications and the procedures

outlined below:

1.

  To raise or lower the rear edge of the

sliding panel on all vehicles except

Lincoln and Mark V, loosen the rear

retainer pin attaching nut (Fig. 15).

The pin assembly is located in the

slotted lifter bracket (See Fig. 16,

View A). Position the sliding panel up

or down as required to obtain a flush

fit to the adjacent roof panel. Re-

torque pin retainer nut to 20-23 in-lbs.

To raise or lower the rear edge of the

sliding panel on Lincoln and Mark V

vehicles, loosen the rear slide adjusting

nut (See Fig. 17), raise or lower the panel

to achieve correct alignment, and tighten

the adjusting nut (24-36 in-lbs).

2.  To raise or lower the forward edge of

the sliding panel, loosen the forward

track shoe retaining screws. Refer to

F ig . 18 . Ro ta t e t he a d jus t e r

( c l o c k w i s e l o w e r s p a n e l ,

counterclockwise raises panel) as

required to obtain a flush fit to

adjacent roof panel. Re-torque the

track shoe attaching screws to 18-23

in-lbs.

BINDING DURING PANEL

MOVEMENT

All Car Lines Except Mark V and

Lincoln

Sliding panel binding can be caused

by unparallel alignment of sliding panel

causing the sliding panel to cock in the

opening (Fig. 19) or binding of the pivot

pins which does not allow the sliding

panel to raise at rear corners when cycled

to full closed position (Fig. 20).

To diagnose binding:

1. Cycle the roof open about 1/4 inch

and sight down the opening to assure

that the sliding panel is parallel to the

opening. Refer to parallel alignment

to correct.

2.   The pivot pins, which are attached to

the lifter b rackets may be too tight in

the pivot brackets. This causes the

system to function normally through

all cycles except the lift cycle. At that

point in the cycle, the pivot pins must

freely rotate in the pivot bracket.

VIEWB

FIG.  6 Sliding Roof Panel Removal

Binding pivot pins can cause the pivot

pins to "walk" out of the pivot

bracket when the system is cycled

numerous times. (Refer to Fig. 19.) If

the condition is caused by binding

pivot pins, remove the pins from the

brackets and ream with a 13/64 inch

drill. Apply silicone lube on the pivot

pin and reinstall. Cycle system to

assure that the panel is fully raising.

Adjust the panel, if required, to

obtain a flush fit to the roof panel.

(Refer to Fig. 21.)

Lincoln and Mark V

Diagnose binding the same as

previously describe. If the panel fails to

raise fully at the rear when closed, make

the following adjustments:

Move the sliding panel as far forward

as it will go. Check rear lifting links to

determine whether or not they have

reached full vertical position. If one or

both links do not attain vertical position,

LOOSEN INBOARD SCREW AND

disengage the cable from the drive gear,

manually lift the panel and rotate the

links to vertical. Then re-engage the cable

and re-assemble.

RATCHETING NOISE FROM CAELE

AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY

If the cable-drive m echanism emit s a

ratcheting noise when sliding panel is

fully opened or closed, the drive gear may

be overriding one of the cables due to

insufficient cable to gear engagement.

Remove the center track cable drive

assembly cover plate and cable retailer

clip.

 Examine gear to cable engagement.

Pull cables and examine for wear. If the

cables do not exhibit excessive wear,

reinstall cables and position the retainer

clip.  Install a .030" shim between the

track wall and retainer clip to provide

additional gear to cable engagement on

the side that exhibits clearance. Refer to

Fig. 22.

WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND WATER LEAK CORRECTIONS

DRAIN HOSES

The roof panel module contains the

track assemblies , cable and drive

mechanisms, and a drain trough that

encircles the sliding panel. Attached to

the module are four (4) drain hoses. One

drain hose is attached at each corner of

the module. The two front drain hoses

are routed down the windshield pillars

and into the cowl sides existing at rocker

panel drain darts—ends of hose are

 not

reusable. The two rear drain hoses are

routed down the rear pillars over the rear

wheel house and into the rear quarters.

Refer to Fig. 23.

NOTE: Prior to performing any

repairs, first verify that the drainage

system is not plugged or restricted. Use

a pint size container and pour water into

the drain trough. Look at the rear of the

vehicle to ensure that the water drains

from the rear quarter panels or rocker

panels.

If

  the water flow is restricted, use

compressed air to "blow-out" any

material in the drain hose system. Test by

pouring water slowly into the system

again.

After assuring that the drainage

system is not restricted, verify that gaps

do not exist around the edge of the panel.

If a gap exists, the gap must be brought

to specification before any further action

is taken (Fig. 24).

With the clearances within speci-

fication, remove the halo moulding.

Close the panel and have an assistant

spray water on the sliding panel

while you're on the inside visually

inspecting the panel area to see if an

excessive amount of water is entering the

drain trough. A large volume of water

indicates that an excessive clearance

exists between the sliding panel and the

felt seals. See shimming the felt seal, this

section.

SLIDING PANELS

The sliding panel has a controlled

water leak at the roof panel felt seals.

Clearances between the felt seal at the

front of the panel are "zer o" . Using a

.010"  feeler gauge, an interference

should be note d at the sides of the

panel. .020" maximum clearance

should be noted between the rear of

the sliding panel felt seal and the roof

panel opening. If these tolerances are

not maintained, water will overflow

the drain troughs and enter the mod-

ule,  running down into the passenger

compartment when the vehicle is

stopped abruptly. Refer to Fig. 24,

View A.

SHIMMING THE FELT SEAL

If the vehicle is equipped with a full

vinyl roof,  remove the felt seal in the

"gapped" area, peel up the vinyl roof

material and install shim material as

required on the sheet metal to fill the

void. Re-cement the vinyl over the shim

material, and re-attach the felt seal. If the

gap is at the rear of the opening, the shim

is installed at the front felt seal. Refer to

Fig. 25.

If the vehicle is equipped w ith the 1/2

vinyl roof and the roof panel surrounding

the sliding panel is a painted surface, the

best material to use for shimming is the

felt seal in the appropriate color. Use a

pair of tin snips and trim off the bulbous

section at the top of the seal and install

between the existing seal anc the

downstanding flange, across the front of

the opening (Fig. 26). If the gapping

condition exists at the rear corners, it

may be necessary to add shim behind the

seal, in the corners and at the rear of

the sliding panel.

RUBBER   SEAL (WEATHERSTRIP)

Water collecting in the module area

may be caused by the rubber seal at the

rear of the sliding panel. The rubber seal

must be positioned at the rear edge of the

panel so that a water channel is provided

to drain any water that bypasses the felt

seal to the side drain troughs.

On models with foam rubber spacer

mounted under the rubber seal, inspect

for proper mating and that no gap exists.

Water

 flowing

 hrough the gap will cause

water to accumulate in the rear of the

module (Fig. 27).

If the water leak is at the foam spacer,

apply a bead of clear silicone sealer or

liquid butyl sealer along the surface of the

panel where the filler strip is attached as

shown in Fig. 28.

MAJOR REPAIR

GENERAL REPAIR INFORMATION

Several materials

 are

  used

 as

 vinyl

roofs.

  Of

  these

  the

  Levant  material

requires

 a

 separate repair procedure.

 The

Levant

 type material

 can

 be identified

 by

the grain pattern which

 is

 shown

 in Fig.

8.

 If the

 texture

 is

  different than shown

in Fig.

 8, use the

 repair procedure

 for all

except  Levant  type.

Repairs on  White Vinyl

Although repairs

 can be

  performed

on white vinyl tops,

 the

  repair

  is

 more

difficult with white (particularly when

repairing

 a cut or

  scuff

  on the

  vinyl

sur f a c e ) . H ow e ve r , w i th c e r t a in

precautions

 the

 repair

 can be

 made

 to an

acceptable level.

It

 is

  important that

 the

 vinyl surface

is thoroughly cleaned before

 the

 repair

 is

made

 and

  also that excessive heat

 be

avoided

 to

  prevent possible charring

 of

the vinyl.

 The

  recommended cleaning

procedure

 and

 temperatures

 are

 outlined

under Repair Procedures.

LEVANT TYPE PATTERN ONLY

A repair

 kit is

 now available

 to

 repair

gouged, cut or  torn Levant Type Pattern

only Vinyl Roofs.

  The

  repairs

  are

permanent

 and

  difficult

  to

 detect.

 The

repaired area has the same strength, grain

and color

 of the

  original roof material.

Levant Type Pattern Grain  is  shown in

Fig. 8.

Color sprays provided

 in

 this

 kit are

pure liquid vinyl

 and

  absorb into

 the

original roof material.

 The

  repair

 kit

includes six colors of  sprays to  match

vinyl tops (Black, White, Dark Blue,

Dark Green, Dark Brown

  and

  Light

Beige).

A complete vinyl

 top

roof material. Do not use any heat gun

of lesser capacity.

General Information

Applying patching compound is a

multiple layer procedure with alter-

nate filling and curing.

On flat or horizontal roof areas, use

a moist sponge (not wet) to cool the

repair area between heat cycles to prevent

the patching compound from setting up

too fast. Cooling is also accomplished by

operating the heat gun on the COLD

position.

On sloped or vertical roof areas, keep

the work area warm so the patch

compound will partially set up as it is

applied to the joint to prevent running

and tear-drop effects.

Sand down high spots with 200 grit

open coat paper, then regrain and re-

spray, or cut out undesirable area and

repeat repair procedure.

If repair is too low, refill, recure,

regrain and spray color.

Keep patching compound away from

the heat gun air stream to prevent

hardening in the jar. Store compound in

a cool place.

Practice Procedure

Use sample vinyl swatches in kit for

practice. Cut a hole or slit in the sample

and glue it to a piece of sheet metal with

trim cement. After trim cement dries,

make practice repa irs in the flat position.

Follow by making practice repairs in the

vertical position.

Instructions On Use Of Heat

Gun

1. Gun is hottest when using shortest

possible heavy duty extension cord.

Beware of drop light cords and long

extension cords with small wires

where the line of voltage drop can

seriously reduce heat output of the

gun.

2.

  Gun is hottest when adjustable air

intake louvers are closed. Regraining

p r o c e d u r e s r e q u i r e m a x i m u m

temperature - use closed louvers with

nozzle distance 1 inch from work.

3.  Curing each layer of Vinyl Patching

Compound is normally done at 1  inch

nozzle d is tance. Adapt louver

opening to suit rate of cure desired.

4.

  Move gun nozzle in circular motion

over repair area (whether curing or

regraining) to get best temperature

distribution at the vinyl surface.

5.  Before turning gun OF F, flip switch

from hot to cold for a few seconds to

cool the heater element.

6. Do not drop gun - the ceramic heater

element may fracture.

Vinyl Roof Repair Procedure

1. Make a grain die by following the

Vinyl Grain Pattern Die procedure

which is given in this Part. This die

will be used later to regrain the

repaired area.

2.

  If damaged area is small (Fig. 7), use

scalpel knife to cut out loose vinyl

material back to where vinyl material

is securely bonded to roof. Cut out all

fibrous strands. Cut to obtain a clean

edge condition as shown in Fig. 8.

If damaged area is larger, cement

loose material back into place with

trim cement and allow to dry. Cut out

at least 1/16 inch of material on both

sides of the tear line in which to

place the vinyl patching compo und.

3.  Clean the area to be repaired with

vinyl prep conditioner by spraying the

conditioner  onto a clean cloth  and

wiping the area (Fig. 9).

 Do not spray

the prep conditioner directly onto the

repair area.

4.

  Apply patching compound with

applicator trowel tool as follows

(Refer to Figs. 10 and 11):

Apply the first layer in small

quantities to the metal-vinyl edge

joint to make a root fillet as shown in

Fig. 11. Before curing, wipe off any

excess patch compound above the

joint with a clean dry cloth.

Hold the heat gun approximately 1

inch away from the repair and move

the gun in a circular motion. Curing

takes about 20 seconds and is

complete when the compound turns

from white to translucent. Press down

on the roof material around the joint

with fingers during heat-cure cycles

to keep area flat.

Repeat the procedure of applying

patching compound and heat curing

- always in thin layers. (Refer to Figs.

12 and 13.) Usually three layers are

adequate to complete the job but

larger holes may require four to five

layers.

After heat curing the next-to-last

layer, the joint cross-section will

appear as shown in Fig. 12 and be

warm. Apply patching compound to

obtain a slight build-up above the

vinyl surface as shown in Fig. 13.

Wait until this last application turns

to a gel-like consistency (about 10

seconds).  DO NOT CURE WITH

HEAT GUN AT THIS STAGE.

Then, draw the side edge of the trowel

tool over the face of the patch area to

strike off the excess build-up to get a

level surface (Fig. 14). Also, remove

any excess compound that may smear

on the vinyl roof material adjacent to

the patch area otherwise it will cure

to the roof material and cause

u n w a n t e d b u i l d - u p on t h e

surrounding area. Joint is now ready

for the final heat cure and regraining

procedure.

5.

  Cure this last leveled layer by heating

the patched area for about 30 seconds

at 1 inch nozzle distanc e (always

moving the gun nozzle in a circular

m o t i o n ) u n t i l t h e i m m e d i a t e

surrounding vinyl develops a shiny

glazed appearance. Have grain

pattern die ready in the other hand.

6. Remove heat and immediately press

grain pattern die with force (Fig. 15).

Hold die on repair for at least 10

seconds to obtain a good impression.

7. Cool the repaired area w ith a moist

sponge or

 cold

 air blast from the gun.

8. Spray vinyl prep conditioner on a

clean cloth and lightly dab the area.

Do not rub.

9. After the repair area has cooled, color

spray with a back and forth sweep to

fog in the vinyl roof color.

Vinyl Grain Pattern Die

A graining die can be made to

duplicate any print desired. It is made by

taking an impression from the vinyl

material in an area adjacent to the repair

or from a piece of scrap having the same

grain.

1. Clean the vinyl material from which

the print will be made with any

suitable mild vinyl cleaner.

2.

  Dry the material.

3.  Spray a 6 x 8 inch area with Silicone

Mold Release.

4.  On a glass surface, place about two

tablespoons of Grain Die Compound

and add seven drops of Fast Set

Liquid Hardener to the compound

(Fig. 16). Mix thoroughly with a stick

or spatula.

5.  Scrape the mixture onto the vinyl

material that has been sprayed with

mold release and level out on a 4 x 6

inch area.

6. Cut an 6 x 8 inch piece of vinyl

material of the same grain pattern,

and place it over the compound. Place

the grain side up, fabric side down.

Refer to Fig. 17.

7. Place a flat board (such as 1/2 inch

plywood) on top of the vinyl material

and place a weight on the board.

8. Allow to dry for 20 minutes.

9. Peel off the completed vinyl grain

pattern die and trim edges with

scissors.

10.

 Spray the die face with Mold Release

to provide a non-adhering silicone

coated surface. The die can be used

repea ted ly to r epa i r iden t i ca l

patterns. Die should be at room

temperature when making grain on

repair area.

Types of Repair

The following are the various types of

items that can be repaired:

Bubbles

A separation between the vinyl cover

and metal surface due to trapped air (Fig.

18).

Scuffs and Abrasions

Surface damage caused by rubbing

action (Fig. 19).

Major Cuts

A cut which has penetrated through

both the vinyl surface and cloth backing

(Fig. 20).

Wrinkles

A crease or small fold on the surface

of the material. This condition is usually

evident outboard of the bonded seam

(Fig. 21).

Minor Cuts

A sur f a c e c u t w hic h ha s no t

penetrated the cloth backing (Fig. 22).

padded material used on certain models

and body styles (Fig. 23).

Separated Bonded Seam

Seams in which the two pieces of

material have a gap between the sections

(Fig. 24).

Adhesive Smears

These are smears of the type that

normal cleaning will not remove such as

trim cement, drip rail sealer, or the

adhesive which is used for vinyl roof

installation.

These are typical of the kind of items

that are repairable. However, there are

certain considerations regarding the type

of repairs to be performed (e.g., wh

repair is to be performed during

delivery, color of vinyl roof invo

location of defect, etc.).

If required, the gloss or shine on the

vinyl surface created by the repair can be

removed with the dulling agent and then

spraying the area with liquid vinyl as

shown in Fig. 26. Several color coats of

liquid vinyl may be required. The last

coat should be a fog coat to minimize

gloss.

Major Cuts

Connect the soldering iron and set the

transformer heat range to No. 7 position

(approximately 225°F).

Clean the soldering iron tip with the

abras ive pad. This must be done

frequently during the repair to avoid

vinyl build-up on the tip. If damage is

over an inch long, apply a light coat of

adhesive as shown in Fig. 27. (It is not

necessary to use cement if the cut is over

a padded area.)

Start at the center of the cut and

lightly slide the soldering tip across the

cut surface, as shown in Fig. 28, using

very short strokes (1/4 inch or less) until

the cut is covered with vinyl.

Again go over the cu t lengthwise with

the soldering tip to smooth out the

surface.

The graining can be restored by

carefully etching the grain pattern into

the vinyl with the sharp edge of the

soldering tip.

If required the gloss or shine created

by the repair can be removed with the

dulling agent or by spraying the area with

liquid vinyl as shown in Fig. 26. Several

coats may be required. The last coat

should be a fog coat to minimize gloss.

Bubbles

Generally, an air bubble is caused by

trapped air and can be corrected by

expelling the air with a hypodermic

needle as shown in Fig. 29. It will be

necessary to activate the adhesive under

the vinyl after the air has been expelled

by applying heat with the heat gun until

the vinyl surface is hot to the touch (see

Fig. 30). Then, work the material down

with the fingers as shown in Fig. 29.

 To

avoid overheating and possible damage to

the vinyl, hold the heat gun about 10 to

12 inches from the surface and constantly

move the gun in a circular motion. In

some cases where a good bond cannot be

obtained, insert a small amount of

adhesive, Part No. 19C525 or equiva-

lent, under the vinyl material with a

syringe as shown in Fig. 29.

Wrinkles

Do not confuse a wrinkle with a

bubble. Usually a wrinkle has small

radial folds with an excessive amount of

slack material which cannot be displaced

without rearranging the material. The

following repair procedure, for example,

along the drip rail. Allow the adhesive to

air dry for several seconds.

Grasp the material firmly, then draw

the material taut until all wrinkles are

removed as shown in Fig. 31. Fold the

material under the drip rail flange.

Secure the front edge of the material

with as many drive nails as needed to

prevent the material from creeping.

Apply sealer under the drive nail to

prevent possible water leak.

Install the mouldings and

weatherstrips.

Looseness

Loose vinyl roof material usually

occurs at padded areas of the vinyl roof

which is used only in certain body styles.

The following is a typical repair of loose

material at the blind quarter area and

generally applies to other areas such as

around the backlite opening.

Partially or completely remove

mouldings or ornamentation in the

immediate area to be repaired.

Carefully peel the edge of the material

free from the sheet metal.

Clean the metal surface thoroughly of

the old adhesive. Apply a thin film of

adhesive to both the vinyl and metal

surface. Allow the adhesive to air dry for

several seconds.

Grasp the material firmly, then draw

the material taut. Secure the edge of the

material with drive nails or sheet metal

screws as needed to prevent the material

from creeping.

Apply sealer over the drive nails or

sheet metal screws to prevent possible

water leaks. Install the mouldings.

Gap Between Vinyl Top and Moulding

In some instances, vinyl top material

that is to short to be concealed under the

roof moulding can be corrected by

adjusting the moulding or stretching the

material. If it is necessary to stretch the

material, pop rivets must be used to

prevent the vinyl from returning to its

original position. Should there be an

insufficient amount of material to allow

the use of pop rivets, the complete vinyl

top cover must be replaced. To determine

whether there is a sufficient amount of

material, perform the following

procedure:

1. If applicable, loosen the moulding

retainers and reposition the moulding

sufficiently to cover the edge of the

vinyl roof material. Re-torque the

moulding retainers. If the edge of the

vinyl material cannot be covered by

repositioning the moulding, proceed

to Step 2.

2.

  Partially or completely remove the

moulding(s) or ornamentation in the

area in which the vinyl roof is too

short or gaps to the moulding(s).

Refer to Group 47 for removal and

R 1 4 1 5 - A

  Front Corner

installation of exterior mouldings

and/or ornamentation.

3.

  Carefully peel the vinyl material free

from the roof panel 4 to 6 inches.

4.

  Using Silicone and Wax Remover

(D160-3721-A or equivalent) clean

the sheet metal surface thoroughly,

removing all of the old adhesive.

5.

  Apply a thin film of adhesive (D4AZ-

19C525-A or equivalent) to both the

vinyl material and the sheet metal

surface and allow the adhesive to air

dry for several seconds.

6. With a heat gun, apply heat to the

vinyl, then grasp the material firmly

and stretch the material so it can be

installed beneath the moulding(s).

CAUTION: To avoid overheating the

vinyl, hold the heat gun about 12 inches

from the surface and constantly move the

gun in a circular motion.

NOTE: If after stretching the

material, it is evident that pop-rivets can

not be hidden by the mouldings, the vinyl

roof cover will have to be replaced.

However, if it is determined that the pop-

rivets can be used, proceed to Step 7.

7. Drill a sufficient number of 9/64 inch

diameter holes in the edge of the vinyl

to assure that it can be adequately

secured to the roof panel with

3815OO-S (1/8 x 3/8) pop-rivets.

8. Install the necessary pop-rivets and

reinstall the moulding(s) or

ornamentation removed in Step 1.

Separated Bonded Seam

Connect the soldering iron and set the

transformer heat range to No. 7 position

(approximately 225°F).

Clean the soldering iron tip

thoroughly with the abrasive pad. This

must be done frequent ly while

performing the repair to avoid vinyl

build-up on the tip. Start at one end of

the separated seam and insert the

  lip

 of

the soldering iron between the bonded

seam as shown in Fig. 32. Note the

position of the curved tip. Slowly move

the tip along the underside of the seam

following immediately with the fingers to

press the seam together.

Reverse the soldering iron tip as

shown in Fig. 33 and again slowly move

the tip along the edge of the seam.

This completes the repair and, if

performed correctly, should not require

paint touch-up. If, however, the vinyl

surface outboard of the seam has a glossy

or shiny appearance created by the

repair, the area can be restored :o its

original satin finish with a dulling agent

or by applying liquid vinyl as shown in

Fig. 26. Several coats may be required.

The last coat should be a fog coat to

Adhesive Smears

Adhesive smears can be removed in

most cases, provided this is done

immediately and the adhesive is not

allowed to age on the vinyl  roof.

Therefore, it is imperative tha t the clean-

up  is performed as soon as possible. Fresh

sealer smears can be removed by rubbing

the smear off with a rubber cement pick-

up block such as the type described in the

list of materials.

2.  Clean th e surface to be sure it is free

of dirt, oil, wax and/or other foreign

material. Use a clean rag, paper towel

or sponge wet with Silicone and Wax

R e m o v e r ( D L 6 0 - 3 7 2 1 - A o r

3.

  Repair the panel by metal finishing,

if required.

Installation

1. If the original grained transfer has

been damaged (scratched or cut) or

p a r t i a l l y r e m o v e d d u r i n g m e t a l

finishing, the damaged area should be

s a n d e d s m o o t h a n d t h e o r i g i n a l

transfer film feather-edged with 320-

grit or finer sandpaper.

2.  Apply Lacquer Spot Putty (19B542

or equivalent) to the damaged area

with a squeegee or flexible glazing

knife to build up the surface tc the

level of the original film. This should

be done only on a small area. If the

damaged area is large, apply primer

with a spray gun to build up the

surface to the level of the original

film.

3.

  Allow the primer or spot putty to dry

thoroughly . Then, sand the pr imer

and the entire grained panel with 320

grit or finer sandpaper. Repeat step 5

if necessary.

4.

  If the repair is being made to a coor,

trim the existing transfer film from

the leading and trailing edges of the

panel. Sand the edges of the panel and

the inner surface of the flanges. Use

the same procedure for the trailing

edge of the fender and the leading

edge of the quarter panel.

5.  Prep are a wetting solution by mixing

one ounce Liquid Car Wash (19B521

or equivalent) in a pail of warm water.

6. Cut the repair transfer to the desired

size, using care to align the wood

grain with the surrounding panels.

7. Place the transfer face down on a

clean bench or o ther su itab le f lat

surface and pull the paper backing off

the transfer film.

  Be careful not to

stretch or tear the transfer Him.

8. Apply the wetting solution liberally to

the tacky side of the transfer and to

the panel being repaired with a rag or

sponge.

 It is extreme ly important that

the vehicle panel surface, the transfer

film and the wetting solution all be at

a moderate temperature (at least 65

degrees F.) when performing this

repair.

electrically heated air blower may be

used to warm the panel. It may also

be used to soften the repair transfer

film to make it conform to the vehicle

panel and to aid in bending the

transfer around the panel edges.

9. Position the transfer film on the

panel. The presence of the wetting

solution will help to prevent the

pressure sensitive adhesive from

sticking to the panel. This permits

moving the transfer film to align the

simulated caulk lines or wood grain

pattern with the adjacent panels.

10. Smooth the transfer film on the panel

with a rag or sponge wet with the

wetting solution to remove large air

pockets.

11. Squeegee the transfer film on the

panel, working from the high point of

a con tour line on the panel. This will

remove the wetting solution from

between the transfer film and the

panel and allow the adhesive on the

film to stick to the panel. Remove any

air or water bubbles as necessary by

pricking them with a pin, and

squeegee.

12.  Wrap the transfer film around the

edges of the door and quarter panels

and the trailing edge of the front

fender (as applicable). Apply heat to

the edges and press the transfer film

firmly against the f lange, and

squeegee.

13. Wipe the surface dry with a clean soft

cloth and install the grained plastic

trim rails or mouldings.

procedures when the vehicle is jacked up

or hoisted. In some cases, special hoist

adapters must be used as recommended

by hoist manufacturers.

Drive-On Type Hoist

To prevent damage to the underbody,

do not d rive the vehicle onto the drive-on

type hoist without first checking for

possible interference between the upright

f langes of the hoist rai ls and the

underbody. Should there be interference,

the hoist flanges should be modified as

necessary or the approach ramps built up

to provide the needed clearance.

Rail Type—Free Wheeling Hoist

Front

The front adapters or hoist plates

must be carefully positioned in contact

with the lower suspension arms to assure

safe,

  accurate lifting.

Rear

The hoist adapters must

 be

 positioned

to avoid damage to the shock absorbers

when the vehicle is raised. The hoist rails

should be raised slowly and the position

of the adapters checked.

Fork Lif t—Twin Post Hoist

Front

To assure safe hoisting, the front post

adapters must be positioned carefully to

co nta c t the cen ter of the lower

suspension arms (Figs. 1 and 2).

Rear

To prevent damage to the shock

absorbers, the rear forks m ust contact the

axle at points not farther out board than

one inch from the circumference welds

near the differential housing. Carefully

raise the rear post and check the position

of the fork (Figs. 1 and 2).

Floor Jack—Pinto, Bobcat and

Mustang

When using a floor jack, the vehicle

may be raised at several locations. The

F R O N T R A I L T Y P E , F O R K L I F T

O R F L O O R J A C K C O N T A C T A R E A

front of the car may be lifted by

positioning the jack under the center of

the number two crossmember. The front,

as well as either side of

 the

 rear end. may

be lifted by positioning the floor jack

under the rocker flange at the contact

points used for the jack supplied wilh the

vehicle. To lift both sides of the rear at

once, position the floor jack under the

differential housing.

Floor Jack—Other Models

When a stationary floor jack or a roll

jack is to be used, there are several

specific recommended points of contact.

Either side of the vehicle may be raised

at the front by jack contact at the lower

arm strut connection. Either side of the

front end of the vehicle may also be raised

b y j a c k p r e s s u r e o n t h e f r o n t

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Sealer locations should be considered

when checking for dust or water leaks.

The forward motion of the vehicle causes

any unsealed small opening in the lower

section of the body to permit air to be

drawn into the body. Dust will follow any

path taken by the air from the point of

entry into the passenger and luggage

compartments. Opening the ventilator air

ducts will equalize these pressures. Dust

accumulates in the rocker panel, and may

eventually work its way to the kick-up or

the rear body pillar, and follow the

contour of the wheelhouse into the

luggage compartment.

To eliminate dust leakage, determine

the exact point at which the dust enters.

The point of entry is often deceptive, in

that the dust may enter at one point, then

follow the passages formed by interior

trim to another point.

Under certain conditions, water can

enter the body at any point where dust

can enter. Any consideration of water

leakage must take into account all points

covered under dust leaks.

To determine the exact location of a

dust leak, it may be necessary to remove

the following trim from the vehicle:

1. Cowl trim panel.

2.

  Quarter trim panel.

3.

  Rear seat back and seat cushion.

4.

  Luggage compartment floor mats,

spare wheel, and side trim panel.

5.

  Center pillar trim on 4-door models.

6. Scuff plates.

After removing the trim, the location

of most leaks will be readily evideni The

entrance of dust is usually indicated by

a pointed shaft of dust or silt. Seal these

leaks, and road test the vehicle on a (dusty

road to make sure that all leaks are

sealed.

After the road tests, check for

indications of a dust pattern around the

door openings, cowl panel, lower part of

the quarter panel, and in the luggage

compartment.

Sometimes leaks can be located by

putting bright lights under the vehicle,

with the above components removed, and

checking the interior of the body oints

and weld lines. The light will show

through where leaks exist.

ADJUSTMENTS

UNITIZED BODY ALIGNMENT

Servicing the unitized body should

present no unusual difficulties or

necessitate additional equipment, other

than required for conventional frame and

body repair. The application of heat and

the use of heavy duty jacks must be

carefully controlled because of the

difference in the gauge of the metal in the

sub-frame of a unitized body and the

stress points developed in a single welded

unit construction. It is possible to pull

damaged areas back into alignment with

the use of l ight-weight jacks and

hydraulic equipment, without heating the

metal.

Rough-out badly damaged areas

before taking measurements for squaring

up a body. If necessary, remove the glass

from the damaged area to prevent

breakage. In severe cases, reinforcement

brackets and other inner construction

may have to be removed or cut to permit

restoration of the outer shell and pillars,

without excessive strain on the parts.

Straighten, install, and secure all such

parts in place, before attempting to align

the body.

In cases of severe or sharp bends, it

may be necessary to use heat. Any

attempt to cold-straighten a severely bent

bracket may cause ruptures of the welds

and may also cause cracks in the bent

part. Never heat the area more than a

dull red.

Checking Underbody for

Misa l ignm ent

The dimensions of the underbody

must be restored in the repair of major

body damage, to provide correct front

and rear wheel geometry. The underbody

dimensions are given in each Part of this

Group for the respective models. All the

dimensions are detailed to the center line

of existing holes in the underbody

assembly. Once the frame and suspension

members are aligned, the balance of the

repair can be performed.

BODY ALIGNMENT

When checking alignment of a badly

damaged body, be sure that all necessary

frame corrections have been made before

attempting to align the body.

Rough out badly damaged areas

before taking measurements for squaring

up a body. Remove the glass to prevent

breakage. In severe cases, reinforcement

brackets and other inner construction

may have to be removed or cut to permit

restoration of the outer shell and pillars

without excessive strain on the parts.

Straighten, install and secure all parts in

place before attempting to align the body.

In cases of severe or sharp bends, it

may be necessary to use heat. Any

attempt to cold-straighten a severely bent

bracket may cause ruptures of the welds

(if any) and may also cause cracks in the

bent part. Never heat the area more than

enough to give a dull red.

Check ing Body for Misal ignm ent

To align or square up a body, take two

opposite diagonal measurements between

the front, center, or rear pillars. Take the

measurements between reference points,

such as crease lines or weld joints which

are diagonally opposite each othe r, on the

two pillars being measured. Since all

measurements should be made from the

bare metal, remove all interior trim from

the checking points.

Do not attempt to correct any serious

m i s a l i g n m e n t w i t h o n e j a c k i n g

operation. This is particularly true if

other sections of the body also require

a l i g n i n g . A l i g n e a c h s e c t i o n

p ropor t iona te ly , un t i l the p roper

dimensions are obtained. If frame

alignment is questionable, refer to the

frame dimensions given in each Part of

this Group for the respective models.

FRAME ALIGNMENT

Frame misalignment can affect front

wheel alignment, body alignment and

the operation of the chassis parts .

Window glass cracks, door and window

opening troubles, and air or water leaks

at the doors are often caused by

improperly tightened body bolts or frame

misalignment.

Before checking frame alignment,

inspect all frame members for cracks,

twists, or bends. Check all welded

connections for cracks. Inspect the bolts

and body support brackets for looseness.

M a k e a n y n e c e s s a r y r e p a i r s o r

replacements.

FRAME REPAIRS

To prevent internal stresses in the

metal, frame straightening should be

limited to parts which are not severely

bent. If heat is needed to straighten a

frame member, keep the temperature

below 1200 degrees F. Excessive heat

may weaken the metal in the frame

members and cause permanent damage.

Electric welding equipment should be

used for all frame welding and  heat

should be kept t o a minimum area so that

the hardness of the metal will not be

affected.

When a reinforcement is to be welded

to a frame side member, run the welds

lengthwise a long the s ide of the

reinforcement.

If a damaged frame member is to be

replaced, use the same method of

attachment as on the original fra

member . New bol ts , r equi red

replacement of parts, should be of

same specifications as the original bo

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

FLOOR PAN PLUGS AND

GROMME TS

Many plugs and grommets are used

in the floor pan and dash panel. The

floor-pan plugs seal the various access

holes. If any plugs are missing or

improperly installed, a dust or water leak

may result. This also applies to the

grommets used on the dash panel. When

dust or water leaks are evident, these

plugs and grommets should be checked

for proper installation.

RATTLE ELIMINATION

Most rattles a re caused by a loose bolt

or screw. Foreign objects such as nuts,

bolts, or small pieces of body deadener in

the door wells, pillars and quarter panels,

are often the source of rattles. Door wells

can be checked by carefully striking the

underside of the door with a rubber

mallet. The impact made by the mallet

will indicate if loose objects are in the

doorwell.

All bolts and screws should be

tightened periodically. In the event that

tightening the bolts and screws, located

on such assemblies as the doors, hood,

and deck lid does not eliminate the

rattles, the trouble is probably caused by

misalignment. If this is the case, follow

t h e a d j u s t m e n t a n d a l i g n m e n t

procedures for these assemblies.

Rattles and squeaks are sometimes

c a u s e d by w e a t h e r s t r i p p i n g a n d

antisqueak material that has slipped out

of position. Apply additional cement or

other adhesive, and install the material in

the proper location, to eliminate this

condition.

TRIM

The bright metal parts of the vehicle

require no special care. Periodic cleaning

will preserve the beauty and life of these

finishes. Wash with clear water, or if the

parts are very dirty use multi-purpose

cleaner (19523 or equivalent). Using a

clean soft cloth or a sponge and water,

rinse and wipe the parts dry. Chrome

Cleaner may be used sparingly to remove

rust or salt corrosion from chrome plated

parts. Do not scour aluminum or chrome

finished parts with steel wool or polish

them with products containing abrasives.

A custom silicone polish (19530 or

equiva lent ) wi l l provide exce l lent

protection for all bright metal parts.

BODY MAINTENANCE

Regular body maintenance preserves

the vehicle's appearance during the life of

the vehicle. The following steps

suggested as a guide for regular bo

maintenance.

1. Vacuum the interior thoroughly

wash the vehicle.

2.  Check all openings for water le

and seal where necessary.

3.  Cement all loose weatherstrips wh

are still usable.

4.

  Replace all door and deck

weatherstrips which are unfit

service.

5.  Apply si l icone lubricant to

weatherstripping.

6. Replace all cracked, fogged,

chipped glass.

7. Align the hood, doors, and deck

if necessary.

8. Inspect the windshield wiper bla

and replace them if necessary.

9. Tighten the sill plate and garn

moulding screws.

10.

 Clean the seats, door trim panels,

headlining.

11.Touch up or paint chipped

scratched areas.

12.  Drain holes located on the under

of each rocker panel, quarter pa
