CHRYSLER SERVICE MANUAL
weatherstrip where the vent pivot goes through
the weatherstrip.
On
Chrysler sedans, seal
around
the
upper pivot bracket
at the
door
frame
and at the
junction
of the
division
bar
and door frame.
The first
and
most important requirement
to
obtain
a
good water tight seal between
the
door
window frames
and the
roof rail weatherstrip
is precise adjustments
of
the doors,
the
window
frames and channels. Adequate adjustments
are
provided
for up and
down,
in and
out,
and
fore
and
aft
adjustment
of the
window frames.
It is
important that the weatherstrip (Fig. 127)
has
sufficient pressure against
the
frame,
but too
great pressure will push
the
window frame
out
of alignment
and
will prevent proper contact
with
the
mating window weatherstrip.
In some cases
it
may be necessary
to
shim
or
adjust
the
weatherstrip along
the
roof rail.
Proper
use of
closed cell rubber shim stock
and
body caulking putty will
aid
greatly
in
obtain-
ing
a
good seal
at the
weatherstrip. Weather-
strip that
is
curled, distorted ,torn
or
tattered
should
be
replaced
by new
weatherstrip.

REAR QUARTER VENT OR WINDOW
(SEDANS)
Leaks
at
the rear quarter vent
or
window
(Fig.
128)
are
sometimes difficult
to
locate since
the
water that leaks in often appears
in
other areas.
Leaks
at the
forward upper
and
lower corners
may cause water
to wet the
quarter trim panel
or under
the
rear carpet.
It
sometimes causes
water
to
accumulate
in the
depression
in the
floor panel
for the
front seat track. Leaks
at
the rear corner
of the
vent may cause water
to
appear
in the
luggage compartment between
the outside
of the
rear wheel housing
and the
rear quarter panel.
A
careful water test will
help locate
the
exact source
of the
leaks. When
leaks
are
found
to be
originating from
the
rear
quarter window,
do not
attempt
to try to
seal
it from
the
outside.
