2. Remove metal clips on pillars, which hold
windshield glass in place.
3. Pull top of glass back to clear header board
and lift out of lower weather strip.
The windshield glass is installed in the following
manner:
1. Place a little vaseline on the lower edge of
the glass and install it in the lower weather strip.
Additional help may be required to enter the glass
in the weather strip channel as it is necessary to
open the channel from both sides of the glass with
screw drivers or some other form of flat tool.
2. Push top of glass forward into position and
install metal clips to keep it in place.
3. Seal lower right and left corners of windshield
where cutouts are made for wiper tube and aerial
lead-in wire. To do this plug the openings with
cotton, pressing it firmly in place. Also pack some
additional cotton in back of the weather stripping
for about two inches up from the lower edge of the
glass. Then coat the cotton with FS-745 rubber
dough. It is also advisable to seal the windshield
glass in position by coating the front side and
edges of the glass channel with rubber dough.
4. Install garnish moulding.
In order to make the windshield leak-proof, the
garnish moulding must be pressed firmly against
the weather strip while fastening it in place. This
can be accomplished by using tool, Part No. B-l77
braced against the front side of the door. Too
much pressure should not be applied against the
garnish moulding as it might damage the moulding
or the pillars or break the glass.
18. Correcting Sticking Lock Bolts
The lock bolts on the doors of Fleetwood cars
sometimes fail to snap out readily while there is
any pressure on the remote control handle. As a
result, it is difficult to close the doors in the usual
manner by pulling them shut with the remote
control handle.
This condition may be due to a slight misalignment
between the door lock housing and the remote
control housing, which are welded together,
resulting in binding between the slotted end of
the lock bolt and the pin for the remote control
or to interference in the lock assembly between
the lock bolt and the locking lever.
The remedy is to remove the lock mechanism
from the door and correct any misalignment. If
the lock housing is out of line with the remote
control housing clamp the lock housing in a vise,
