to obtain a good seal between the quarter win-
dow and the opening (Fig. 129). Build up a
dam of putty to prevent water coming inside
the car.
On the Windsor quarter window, leaks be-
tween the quarter window glass and frame can
be corrected by the use of weatherstrip cement
between the glass and the window frame.
On the Saratoga, New Yorker, and Imperial
ventilating type quarter window, before instal-
lation, adjust the compression against the
weatherstrip by adjusting the latch bracket so
there is firm contact between the glass and the
weatherstrip.
Install the rear quarter window. On the
Windsor sedan, the outer lip of the weatherstrip
should be worked out to the outside of the
window opening.
On the Saratoga, New Yorker and Imperial
sedans, the lip of the weatherstrip should fit
against the bead of body caulking putty inside
the quarter window opening (Fig. 130). On the
Imperial sedan, attach the toggle lock and ad-
just so that the upper and lower sealing lips of
the weatherstrip press firmly against the glass.
Install the garnish mouldings. When properly
tightened there will be adequate pressure of the
weatherstrip against the window opening to
squeeze out some of the body caulking putty.
Clean off the excess body caulking putty.
On two-door hardtop models it is essential
to have a waterproof shield between the rear
quarter window space in the rear quarter panel
and the luggage compartment. Otherwise, water
that would enter the rear quarter past the rear
quarter window could blow into the luggage
compartment. Make sure that the plastic water
shield (Fig. 131) is installed correctly on the
rear quarter inner panel. Be sure to seal all
holes and openings using waterproof tape and
body caulking putty.

REAR WINDOW
The sealing procedure for around the rear win-
dow is basically the same as that for the wind-
shield using adequate cement to seal the glass.
Inspect carefully for leaks around the rear win-
dow lower moulding clip bolts and the former
drain holes near the ends of the trough below
the rear window. These leaks will generally
appear in the luggage compartment on the up-
