stall the shim and press the weatherstrip firm-
ly in place (Fig. 121).
To obtain a smooth radius of the weather-
strip around the corners of the door window
frame, slot the weatherstrip on the inside of
the radius to allow the weatherstrip to bend
smoothly around the corner. Fill the slots with
weatherstrip cement or black mastic sealer.
If the weatherstrip is pulled too tightly
around the corners (Fig. 121), is may be cor-
rected by loosening the weatherstrip along the
window frame and carefully cutting the cord
on the back corner of the weatherstrip in sev-
eral places to allow the weatherstrip to stretch
up so that enough weatherstrip stock is avail-
able to provide a gentle curve around the door
window frame corner. Clean off the old weath-
erstrip cement, and recement the weatherstrip
