CHRYSLER SERVICE MANUAL
a. Body Adjustment
Before making any adjustments of top header
panel, roof side rails, or power links, tighten
body bolts to 18 foot-pounds torque. Shimming
body to obtain proper top alignment should
only be done in extreme cases where there is
doubt as to proper frame-to-body alignment. If
body must be shimmed, refer to Figure 43 for
correct body shimming methods.
CAUTION
To avoid stripping adjusting screw threads,
loosen Allen set screw locking the adjusting
screws in hinge and rail brackets (Fig. 147)
before attempting to adjust locking screws.
b.
Power Link Adjustment
With top and all door and quarter window
glasses in raised position, carefully inspect door
and quarter window glass for correct lit at
side rail and vertical seals Fig. 149. Adjustment
for proper alignment of quarter window glass-
to-roof rail weatherstrip is made at the power
guide link adjusting plate (Fig. 148) with top
in partially raised position. Refer to Figures
147 and 148 for door glass-to-roof rail weather-
strip clearance.
NOTE:
On Imperial Models there is no power
guide link.
Adjust the lower outside power link for fore
and aft and up and down movement. To de-
crease or increase clearance between quarter
window glass and roof rail weatherstrip, loosen
power guide link adjusting plate bolts and
spread or shorten link as case may require, to
obtain the desired clearance.
