forward until safety catch engages.
NOTE:
Be sure both sides are engaged when
latching.
c. Roof Side Rail Alignment (All Models)
The adjustment of front side rail and header
panel to windshield is controlled by the rear
control link which is fastened to the quarter
panel compartment (Fig. 147).
Also affecting the side rail weatherstrip seal-
ing at top of door glasses are front side rail
hinge adjusting screws and rear side rail hinge
adjusting screws, as shown in Figure 87
(Chrysler Models). If front side rail joints are
open when top is fully raised, turn front side
rail hinge adjusting screws counter-clockwise
until joints are closed. If after making this ad-
justment, the clearance between door glass and
side rail is increased or decreased, adjust the
rear adjusting screw to obtain the desired
clearance.
On All Models leveling of top can be accom-
plished by lowering or raising the rear con-
trol link bracket. When adjusting the rear con-
trol link, care should be taken to adjust both
sides equally to maintain parallelism between
header panel and windshield frame. Before
making this adjustment, loosen top header at
windshield to remove tension from linkage.
d. Top Header Panel Adjustment
If the header does not close easily on dowels,
loosen the header panel-to-side rail screws and
shift header panel forward or backward as re-
quired. If this is not possible, it will be neces-
sary to adjust the power guide link to obtain
the desired clearance. (See Fig. 148). On Im-
perial Models—lateral adjustment of dowels
may be made by loosening nut and setting
dowels to line up with hole in removable sun
visor bracket.
