Fisher Body Service Manual, 1936
DOOR TRIM CARPET WATER SOAKED
All the water that enters at the Door Window Opening normally
flows out at the Water Drain Holes in the bottom of
the Door. However, there are some cases of where water follows
down the Door Pillars or comes in through the Door Lock
along the inside of the Door Trim Pad Lining and finally soaks
the Door Trim Carpet at the bottom of the Door.
Tack the top edge of this material to the Regulator
Board as in Illustration No. 183, and finally tack both
sides of this material to the Door Pillars making sure the
edges of it do not show when the Trim Pad is again installed.
5. Reinstall the Door Trim Pad, Handles, and Garnish
Molding.
Illustration No. 184
Door Rain Baffle Partly Installed.
To correct this install a Rain Baffle in the Door under the
Trim Pad as follows:
1. Remove the Door Trim Pad.
2. Remove the cardboard trim Pad-Lining.
3. Clean out all Water Drain Holes.
NOTE—If the Drain Holes are clogged the Door may fill
up and cause the Door Trim Pad to become water soaked.
This should be examined first and if necessary, corrected. In
cases-of this kind the installation of the Rain Baffle may not
be required.

Kit No. KMO-166 Used for Cleaning Lock Cylinders.
LOCKING HANDLE CYLINDER
LUBRICATION
Door Locking Handle Cylinders require cleaning and lubrication
occasionally but they should never be oiled.
Oil will collect dust and grime that eventually will clog
and make it inoperative.
To clean a Lock Cylinder, spray it inside with cleaning solvent
to cut and dissolve the grease and oil. Work the key in
it to see that it is in working order, then after the solvent has
evaporated, spray with powdered Graphite to Lubricate.
The Lock Cleaning and Lubricating Kit No. KMO-166 is an
ideal outfit for this purpose, and makes the job a short one.
FRONT DOOR (LEFT SIDE) LOCKING HANDLE
The Locking Handle on 1936 Bodies (Right and Left Front
Doors) are interchangeable.
But when installing one on the Left Front Door the hole
for the Handle Shaft, through the wood, must be reamed out
larger. A 11 inch Drill will do.

Door Rain Baffle Installed.
4. Cut a piece of glazed fabric the size of the Door Trim
Pad but one inch less in width. Tack the lower edge of
this fabric to the upper edge of the Door Bottom Board
as in Illustration No. 184 (glazed side towards the Door).
ROOF AND BODY PANEL INSULATION
FELT
Early 1936 Turret Top Bodies are insulated with a Black
Felt. If this material has to be removed for any reason it
should be replaced with the Brown Felt Part No. 601778 and
cemented to place with F.S. 1044.
In very cold winter weather any loose Insulation Felt may
cause a ticking noise as it touches and pulls away from the
cement.
