Water
may
also drip down from
the
upper
pillar
and
strike
the
trim about
one
foot ahead
of
the

sufficient sealing
of the "D"
shaped opening
at
the
rear
of the
pillar
as
indicated
at (2) in
Figure
144.
Repack this area with caulking
putty.

side
of the
pillar. Pack
the
"L" shaped opening
with

RUN
CHANNEL
Water leaking past
the
glass
run
around
the
channel
may be
sealed
off (Fig. 145) and ap-
plying sealer

sealed
by
remov-
ing glass

applying additional beads
of
sealer
to the
glass
run
channel. Press
a
bead
of rope type seal into moulding seams
and
clean
off surplus. While rear pillar garnish moulding
is removed, inspect

This opening
should
be
filled with caulking putty.

TAIL GATE WEATHERSTRIP
The tail gate weatherstrip
is
designed
to fit
under
a lip and
into
a
channel
at the
sides
of
the tail gate opening.
At its
upper
end a
piece
extends
out and
fits
up
into
the
bottom
of the
pillar. Remove
all
weatherstrip that
is not in-
stalled properly. Clean
the
channel
and the
weatherstrip with cement removing solvent.
Apply
a
coat
of
cement
to
each part
and
rein-
stall weatherstrip.
At the
bottom
of
opening
it
is
sometimes necessary
to
remove
the
weath-
erstrip
and
after cleaning shim
the
weather-
strip surfaces
and
reinstall.
