Illustration No. 188
Noise at the Belt Section of the Cowl.
Care should be exercised not to ding the Outer Panel.
NOTE—A noise at this location at "D" may be caused by a
Hinge Half chafing the Cowl metal.
Remedy—Remove Hinge Half and file clearance at the
Hinge cutout in the Panel, coat Hinge Half with compound
F.S. 1039 and reinstall. This will also seal against water
leaks.

NOISE AT ROOF RAIL BOLTS AND NUTS
A noise along the Roof Side Rail may be caused by:
1. Bolt projecting through too far touching Roof Panel.
2. Anchor Nut touching Panel.
3. A Loose Nut, screw or nail wedged between metal parts.
Remedy:
1. Release Headlining along location of noise and examine
for cause.
A long Bolt should be removed and cut off.
A contacting Nut should be turned to clear the Panel.
Any Free Objects should be removed.
NOISE IN FRONT
PILLAR
The Front-End Frame Upper (Inside frame of Front
Pillar) has a flange that extends along the outer edge of the
Pillar from the Roof to the Cowl Belt Line. This metal flange
may project out far enough to contact the Cowl Metal Panel.
(See Illustration No. 188 at B.) Feeling a snap noise at this
point with the hand will indicate contact.
To remedy this at "B":
Remove Cowl Trim Pad.
Insert long slender metal Spoon as at "C" in cut. Pry the
flange metal away from Panel.
Illustration No. 189
Noise at Upper Front Pillar Section.
Illustration No. 189 shows a cut-away section of the Front
Body Pillar located at the Torch Weld. This weld is sometimes
sunk deep enough to touch on the inner flange of the
Front End Framework, which causes a noise that is very difficult
to locate.
"A" shows the flange of the Inner Framework.
"B" shows where weld may contact flange.
If there is a noise at this location try the following correction:
Drill % inch hole in the Pillar Facing as illustration
shows. Insert a nail set or slender drift punch in the hole
till it touches the flange as at "B". A tap or two with a hammer
may relieve the contact.
