per portion of the rear wheel housing and/or
across the forward portion of the luggage com-
partment floor.
To seal the trough below the rear window:
Remove the rear window lower moulding (belt
moulding). Remove all the old sealer from the
trough. Fill the "V" shaped trough for about
18 inches from each end with body caulking
putty (Fig. 132). Fill all unused holes and pack
the putty at the junction of the roof rail, rear
window trough and quarter panel. Make a ball
of body caulking putty and push it into each
moulding retaining bolt hole. Install the rear
window lower moulding, pushing the retaining
bolts through the balls of putty. Install the
sealing type nuts and tighten. Pack body caulk-
ing putty carefully around each attaching nut
to provide extra sealing.
On Imperial bodies while the rear window
lower moulding is removed, pack and seal off
the rear window trough drain holes with body
caulking putty. Apply liquid body sealer along
the outer edge of the upper portion and sides
of the rear window weatherstrip (Fig. 133).
Be sure to seal around each clip and under the
lip of the weatherstrip. Water leaking around
these clips may appear on the rear window shelf
panel or inside the luggage compartment.
On Imperial bodies, a leak at the rear window
corner moulding (joint cover) retaining bolt
may cause water to appear in the luggage com-
partment or cause wicking of the headlining.
Remove the rear window upper garnish mould-
ing to gain access to the corner moulding re-
taining bolt nut. Seal around bolt and nut with
body caulking putty. Install garnish moulding.

REAR QUARTER PANEL
The increased use of bright metal and medal-
lions on the rear quarter panel results in more
clip and bolt holes, which may leak. Leaks from
this area will generally appear in the luggage
compartment, floor extensions near the quarter
panel.
