The Door Weatherstrips of 1936 and the later type 1935
Bodies are attached to the Door Flange by being inserted into
the Door Weatherstrip Metal Retainer which has been spotwelded
to the Door Flange. The early type 1935 Bodies had
these Weatherstrips cemented with F.S. 1039 either to the
rabbeted edge of the Door Opening or on the Door Flange.
Either type is equally effective if properly applied. Part

The Rear Quarter Panel is spotwelded to the Roof Panel
from the Door Opening to the rear end of Roof Drip Molding
and a Torch Weld is used from the rear end of this Drip Molding

Another Torch Weld is used at the Lower corners of the
Opening, joining the Rear Quarter Panel and the Rear End

At the Floor the Rear Quarter Panel is spotwelded to the
Kickup Sill from the Door opening to the Rear End Sill. On
the Sedans and Coaches it is also spotwelded to the Rear Compartment

Pillar and around the Rear Quarter Window Frame.
DOORS
With but few exceptions, the Doors are constructed simi- '
larly in 1934, 1935 and 1936 Bodies. One exception is that
on the 1935 Turret Top Styles, the Front Doors are hinged to
the Center Pillar instead of the Body Front Pillars.
Illustration No. 51
Early Type 1935 Remote
Control Handle.
On the early 1935 Bodies, a Remote Control Inside Door
Handle was used that fitted into the Door Arm Assembly.
This was changed later and the Door Inside Handle was
attached to the inside end of the Door Outside Handle Assembly
which eliminated the Remote Control Link.
