obtain a water tight seal at point X
(Fig. 2).
3. Adjust the rear side rail weatherstrip
to provide a water tight seal
at the joint (Fig. 2), and tighten the
weatherstrip retaining nuts.
LATERAL
ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment shifts the top assembly
sidewise to obtain a good fit
between the rear side rail and the
quarter outside rear side belt moulding.
1. Loosen the screws which retain
the main pivot bracket to its support
(Fig. 3).
2. Shift the main pivot bracket
toward either side as necessary to
obtain the proper clearance (9/32
inch) between the rear side rail and
the quarter outside rear side belt
mouldings and tighten the retaining
screws.
INTERMEDIATE SIDE
ADJUSTMENT
RAil
This adjustment moves the top assembly
to obtain a good fit between
the top assembly and the side window
glass line.
1. With the door glass properly
adjusted. loosen the eccentric nut
(View B, Fig. 4), and rotate the
eccentric pin to obtain a 3/8-inch
parallel dimension between the front
door glass and the front and center
side rails.
2. Hold the eccentric pin to prevent
it from turning, and tighten the
eccentric nut. The main balance link
marking and washer pointer is an
average dimension of adjustment.
Rotation of the eccentric with raise or
lower the side rails to obtain the correct
design-height dimension between
the side rails and the glass.
BALANCE LINK ADJUSTMENT
The balance link is retained to the
intermediate side rail assembly with
an eccentric pin (Fig. 4, View B).
Rotation of the eccentric pin raises
or lowers the side rail over the door
glass area. Clearance between the
glass frame and side rail is 3/8 inch
constant.
TOGGLE CLAMP
ADJUSTMENT
The toggle clamps that hold the
No. I bow against the header can be
adjusted to provide a good seal.
1. To determine which side is not
sealing, check the weatherstrip between
the No. I bow and the header
with a 3 x 5-inch card. A reasonable
pull must be felt as the card is pulled
out. Both toggle clamps need not be
adjusted unless necessary.
2. Release the toggle clamps (Fig.
5), loosen the Allen screw, and
thread the toggle hook in or out until
adequate sealing pressure is applied
at the header weatherstrip. Excessive
tightening of the toggle hooks will
distort the No.1 bow and cause poor
weatherstrip sealing. Tighten the Al-
Ien screw after adjusting the clamp.
DOWEL PIN ADJ USTMENT
To obtain proper alignment of the
dowel pins with the dowel pin holes
in the windshield header, loosen the
dowel pin retaining nut (Fig. 5) and
move the dowel pins inboard or outboard.
Then, tighten the dowel retaining
nut.
NO.2
BOW ADJUSTMENT
Raise the top and lock it to the
windshield header. Loosen the lock
nut (View A-Fig. 4), and rotate the
eccentric pin to raise or lower the top
material along the door glass line.
The specified clearance for the top
material to door glass frame is 1/8
inch. Hold the eccentric and tighten
the lock nut.
HOLD DOWN SIDE CLAMPS-
MAN VAL TOP
The hold down side clamp assemblies
located on each quarter panel
support mounting (Fig. 3), are adjustable
up and down to retain the
top assembly when in its fully stacked
position.
