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

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.

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.

LINCOLN CONTINENTAL O N L Y -
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
s hou ld
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
UP
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
c o r n e r of the g la s s . T igh ten all
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
glass bracket
and tighten
the
attaching screw.
Stabilizer Adjustment
The stabilizers are used to support the
glass
at the door belt line. To adjust„ raise
the glass to the full UP position. Loosen
the stabilizer attaching screw
and
rotate
the stabilizer against
the
glass. Tighten
the stabilizer attaching screws.
Down Stop Adjustment
The down stop should be adjusted
so
that
the
main glass
is
between flush

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-

ADJUSTMENTS (REFER TO FIGS. 5
THRU 8)
The door trim panel and watershield
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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

ADJUSTMENTS
LUGGAGE COMPA RTMENT DOOR
The luggage compartment door,
(third door and/or deck lid), can be
shifted fore and aft on all models and
from side to side on Pinto and Bobcat by
loosening the hinge to door attaching
screws. The up and down adjustment is
made by loosening the hinge-to-door
attaching screws and raising or lowering
the door and/or adding or removing
shims (Fig. 3 through 6).
The luggage compar tment door
should be adjusted for an even and
parallel fit with the door opening. The
door should also be adjusted up and
down for a flus h fit with the surrounding
panels. Care should be taken not to
distort or mar the luggage compartment
door or surrounding body panels.

If the liftgate door ajar warning
switch is replaced, all adjustments to the
liftgate and latch must be made before
installing the switch.

All Except Pinto and Bobcat
Model 64 and 73 and Mustang
Model 69
1. Open the luggage compartment door
and note the pop-up distance of the
door. The door should have adequate
finger clearance.
2. If the door does not have adequate
finger clearance, the torsion bars
tension should be increased. See
appropriate Figs. 3 through 13.
3. If the door pops open with more force
than is desired, the torsion bar tension
can be decreased. Use care when
adjusting the torsion bar as it is under
tension and could spring out of
control if not handled properly.
4. Support the door in the full open
position before adjusting the torsion
bar.
5. To adjust the torsion bar, grip the
with a pipe wrench (typical) (Fig.
Then, move the torsion bar end
another position (notch) to increa
or decrease the tension.
6. Adjust one torsion bar and check t
adjustment before adjusting the oth
torsion bar.
7. After torsion bar adjustment, t
difference of the position of t
torsion bar ends, between the rig
and left side, must not be more th
one slot.

LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT DOOR
LATCH
Door Mounted Latch Adjustment
The striker plate can be adjusted up
and down and the latch can be adjusted
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
the deck lid and the lower back panel.
Pinto and Bobcat Station Wagon
Liftgate
A two-po sition (seconda ry and
p r i m a r y ) d o o r l a t c h s y s t e m i s
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.
The la tch can be adjus te d by
loosening the attaching screws just
enough to move the la tch . Then,
reposition the latch up or down, as
required, to obtain a water tight fit
between the luggage compartment door
and the weatherstrip, and tighten the
attaching screws. After the latch is
adjusted, reposition the latch striker for
proper engagement and alignment with
the latch.

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

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.

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

Mark V can also be transferred to the
new panel. All other models should have
a new felt seal (of the appropriate color)
installed on the rear sliding panel. Use
trim cement to attach the felt seal to the
rear of the panel. Install the seal so the
thick bulbous section is flush to the top
surface of the sliding panel.
CABLE ASSEMBLY
Lincoln and Mark V

moulding and sliding panel must first be
removed. Remove the front cable cover
and the side track retainers. Remove the
cable retainer at the drive gear (2 screws)
and lift and slide the cable assembly
forward out of the track. (See Fig. 8).
Reverse the procedure for installation.
For initial alignment of new
cables,
insert

remove from side track assembly. It may
also be necessary to remove the track
retaining screws and lift the track so the
cable will slide out the front of the track.
Drive Gear
If the motor runs but the sliding panel
does not operate, drive clutch slippage
should be suspected. To tighten the
clutch, remove the drive cover from the
headlining and tighten the cap screw with
the emergency crank handle.
To remove the drive gear, remove the
front cable cover and cable retainer and
remove the " C " clip that retains the gear
to the motor shaft. Slide the drive gear

CAUTION: Do not activate the
control switch while the cover or cables
are removed from the track, as this can
cause cable damage.
It is not necessary to remove the halo
moulding to perform parallel alignment
adjustment on the sliding panel.
1. Open the sliding panel approximately
1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.
2. Sight down the opening to determine
the para l le l re la t ionship of the
forward edge of the sliding panel with
the forward edge of the opening in the
roof panel and note the variation, see
Fig. 8.
3. Open the sliding panel approximately
8 inches to gain access to the
cable/drive gear mechanism.
4. Remove the front track cover and
cable cover to gain access to the drive
gear. (See Fig. 13).
5. Pry metal retaining clip off the cable
drive gear mechanism if so equipped.
6. Remove one of the cables from the

SLIDING PANEL FLUSHNESS OR
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
To obtain a flush fit of the sliding
panel to the roof panel, remove halo
moulding to gain access to adjusters and
refer to Fig. 15 for correct flushness
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 ,

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

R1880B
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
repair
kit,
Part

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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
