water to overflow. On most complaints of this kind, if the
Drain Hole mentioned is cleaned out, the trouble will be corrected.
However, in some cases, the water may run down behind the
Drain Pan instead of running into the Pan, or the water may
splash against the Trim Pad and run down to the Floor, soaking
the Trim and the Carpet. In the last two cases, the following
corrective work may be necessary:
6. Remove oblong metal Drain Pan on top of the Wheelhousing
at the base of the Rear Quarter Pillar. (See
Illustration No. 146 at A.) Also, remove Lower Glass
Run Channels and their Retainers from the Rear Quarter
Pillar and the Rear Body Hinge Pillar.
7. Seal between the Rear Quarter Pillar and the Rear
Quarter Panel with a combination of cotton waste and
F.S. 1039 Compound (See Illustration No. 146 at B.)
8. Re-install the Drain Pan above the Wheelhousing making
sure sufficient sealing compound is used where it contacts
the Rear Quarter Pillar and the Quarter Panel.
(See Illustration No. H6 at C.) In brief, make sure that
all the water that might enter at the Window will find its
way into the Pan. Re-install the Rear Quarter Lower
Glass Channels and their Retainers to their original
locations.
9. Cut a piece of roof covering material to be used as a
Rain Baffle and place it in position as shown in Illustration
No. 147 (glazed side toward Body Panel), tacking
it first to the Rear Body Hinge Pillar, (See Illustration
No. 147 at A) and tuck the lower left hand skirt of the
material behind the Rear Body Hinge Pillar-To-Sill
Brace, down to the Sill. The balance of the skirt is then
trimmed and cemented to the inside edge of the rubber
Drain Gutter and the Drain Pan. (Use F.S. 1039 Cement.)

Quarter Lower Trim Pad. NOTE—The Rear Quarter
Arm Rest is a part of the Lower Quarter Trim and is
held in place by a Wood Screw which is accessible from
the outside under the Wheelhousing.
(See Illustration No. 146 at D.)
5. Remove upper and lower Regulator Boards and Quarter
Window Glass.
10. Install the Window Glass and Regulator Boards. Tack
the Rain Baffle to the lower Regulator Board (See Illustration
No. 147.)
11. Re-assemble the Quarter Trim and Ann Rest, Upper
Glass Run ChanneL Garnish Molding, Cushion and Seat
Back Assemblies.
NOTE—This information is to be used only on exceptional
cases where other methods have failed. Time for this work
is usually about three hours for one side.
COWL
VENTILATOR
To adjust the spacing around the Cowl Ventilator Lid,
loosen the adjusting screws in the Hinge Plate. Close the Lid
and insert wood wedges in the spacing around the Lid to
equalize and hold it in position.
Tighten the adjusting screws.
The holes are elongated to allow for adjustment. Tension
of the Lid to the rubber Gasket is obtained by means of the
Adjustable Control Arm. (See Illustration No. 14.)
COMPOUNDS
There are so few necessary Compounds needed for service
on Bodies that there is no excuse for a Dealer not having a
limited quantity of all of them on hand at all times.
F.S. 1039 is used to cement or seal all rubber Weatherstrips,
rubber Moldings, wood joints and metal Panel joints
where dust or water leaks may occur.
F.S. 1040 is a similar cement to F.S. 1039 except that it is
thinner in consistency so that it may be used in the Sealing
Gun B-182 for sealing the outer lips on the Windshield, Back
Window and Rear Quarter Window Rubber Channels. (High
Test Gasoline may be used to thin either 1039.or 1040 to the
proper creamy consistency for this purpose.)

F.S. 1044 is a heavy paste used to cement the Insulation
Felt and other silencing pads to the Metal Panels, Roof and
Floor.
