WINDSHIELD
WIPER HOUSING CAP
GASKET
The Windshield Wiper Housing Cap Screws hold the Housing
in position. This means that if the screws are entirely
removed for any reason the Housing drops out of position
and may necessitate the removal of the Glove Compartment
Housing in order to replace the Wiper Housing. These screws
should be only loosened to remove the Gasket, or replace it.
If this Gasket does not fit correctly a water leak may occur.
If the Cap is not packed with grease, water may be forced
through the Wiper Drive Shaft Bearing causing a water leak.
These water, leaks may be mistaken for Windshield water
leaks.
WINDSHIELD GLASS REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT (ONE SIDE)
In the replacement of a cracked Windshield Glass, it is
imperative that the cause of the Glass breakage (other than
by accident) should be determined and corrected. Body men in
various parts of the country have made a practice of placing
a new Glass in the Windshield Opening without taking this'
fact into consideration and as a result the car comes back
into the shop with the Windshield cracked in approximately
the same place, the owner is aggravated, and the time, labor
and material used in Glass replacement is lost.

Checking Windshield Opening.'
The reason some Windshield Glasses crack is that somewhere
around the Windshield Opening an obstruction or high
spot is binding on the Glass. This strain becomes emphasized
by wind pressure, extremes of temperature, or the motion of
the car. The following information on the procedure of
replacing a cracked Windshield Glass will be found helpful.
1. On the inside of the Body, apply Painter's Masking Tape
